I was looking for aptitude [00:15] nforcemac, probably lost, boot into a live cd and see if you can save anything in your ~ [00:15] adub: well you think wrong, backports is for installing *newer* apps. but anyway, there doesn't seem to be a backport for zoneminder.

Dells usually work ok with Ubuntu from what I can tell though [00:20] ryushe, to explain that a bit -- Dell has had a big internal push to get all the drivers needed to use their hardware into the upstream kernel. [00:20] s0|: I just reinstalled my D830 with 8.10 last night, and that went without a hitch tbh. Earlier dell laptops have also worked pretty well with a variety of distros [00:20] nDuff: and I'm thankful for it ;) [00:20] adub: if you wait a while i'll see if i can compile the intrepid version, then give you instructions to do it. === Daenyth||Work is now known as bruenig [00:21] im working on it now actually [00:21] but ya by all means [00:21] Hi guys, why do I have white screen after enabling compiz effects in 8.04 x86 with fglrx drivers? [00:21] if you can use the application maybe [00:21] :) [00:21] i downloaded source code [00:21] ./configure has a lot of switches that needs applied [00:21] how can i find out where my cgi directory is [00:21] or if i have it installed?? [00:22] ei someone can help me? i have an acer aspire 6920 with an intel HDA Intel ALC889 analog sound card and i cant get sound to work [00:22] or is that something that is already installed [00:22] and i just need to create a directory in /var/www [00:22] adub: apache's default cgi dir is /usr/lib/cgi-bin [00:23] k [00:23] adub: usually it defaults to /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ but you can use any directory you specify as a cgi script directory [00:23] hmm, this do-release-upgrade is pretty nice; beats apt-get dist-upgrade, and even warns me about using ssh [00:23] adub: leave ./configure alone please. [00:23] JURiJ did you enable desktop effects? [00:24] adub: you can install the Intrepid source package without touching ./configure, just have a little patience.

Had to kill it [00:34] should i add it at the top [00:34] adub: it's true, but it's a source repository, and we'll only get this one package from it to compile [00:34] adub: top or bottom is the same === vox__ is now known as vox [00:34] oh i already have the source package [00:34] my problem is about radeon driver, but running games in window not fullscreen would solve it!! [00:34] Chunky_Bacon: it was ment to be light hearted fun.... [00:34] from the zoneminder website [00:34] adub: that's not a source package, that's just the upstream distribution. i'm talking about a *proper* Ubuntu source package, which will get a binary .deb compiled. [00:35] nforcemac: light hearted fun my ass. Don't be so immature here please [00:35] nforcemac: you're supposed to help or to ask for it. Not for wrecking another's system, even for fun.

Will keep you from getting lost in the traffic :) [00:36] Zopiac: that's something you should ask the #xfce ops [00:36] how [00:36] Zopiac: /cs access #xfce list [00:36] Zopiac: You're shown as logged in as root. Many channels will ban for that. [00:36] Zopiac: or, not, since it's private. anyway, we can't help you with that here [00:37] is the command to show what drives and partitions you have yeah ?? [00:37] fdisk -l [00:37] <__BSD__> where is the config file for xtightvncserver?

[00:45] i would think i would have gotten an errror [00:45] Anyway, there is a mistake in some packages. It should be possible to install gnome-desktop-environment. Otherwise I don't see the reason to put it on the repositories [00:45] TecR0c: sorry, run 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb' [00:45] LjL im sure you right lemme double check [00:45] adub: deb-src http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid main restricted universe multiverse [00:46] adub: and sudo apt-get update [00:46] How best is it to TOTALY remove postix, then reinstall a clean version?

[00:48] sudo aptitude purge [00:48] ryushe: ok it gave me information on the drive. how do i go about mounting it now ? [00:48] I need to run it in listening mode and be able to accept a connecting, encrypted vnc server [00:48] anyone in here use torproject? [00:49] where does ubuntu saves iptables rules file?

[00:49] Mal3ko, firestarter i use that progrem to configure iptables [00:49] in Ubuntu 7.10, menu.lst is rewritten with the wrong information each time I boot it, how do I make it not update menu.lst and let me do it manually [00:49] i deleted all the files that were in the old one [00:49] before i downloaded again [00:49] im at line 281 [00:50] ryushe: /dev/sdb2 [00:50] demonspork, sudo apt-get install startupmanager [00:50] lucax: yep. firestarter..afaik its just a simple gui for iptable right? where does it store the firewall settings? [00:50] adub: do you see "url_fclose(ofc->pb);"? [00:50] TecR0c: in that case, [00:50] yes [00:50] adub: change it to: url_fclose(&ofc->pb); [00:50] adub: then save and exit (ctrl+x) [00:51] TecR0c: disregard that, what I meant to ask, what version of Ubuntu you running? [00:51] gnutron: do you know if it's possible via a log, for example, to know what scp has done ? [00:51] ryushe: 8.10 [00:51] ok below that it has else and that line [00:51] TecR0c: cause otherwise it *should* show up under the Places menu. [00:51] Mal3ko, Mal3ko do a search for iptables from gnome [00:51] lol [00:51] adub: yes, that doesn't matter. just change 281 [00:51] im taking it on original compiling you got an error casue that loine [00:51] k [00:51] adub: yes, that's right [00:51] ok saved the file [00:51] adub: now do "dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc" (while you're in the directory zoneminder-1.23.3) [00:52] ryushe: it does then you can mount it from there. but i want to be able to know how to do it from the terminal ! [00:52] adub: ah wait, i forgot to make you get the build dependencies [00:52] o [00:52] adub: first do "sudo apt-get build-dep zoneminder" [00:52] what's the app that lets me logout and have a contact list on gnome bar new in 8.10? i did something and it's not starting up anymore.. [00:52] adub: then "dpkg-build-package -b -uc" [00:53] err, "dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc", without the - [00:53] this appears to still be downloading off of hardy [00:53] adub: yes, that's correct [00:53] ok [00:53] TecR0c: what you can do is create a directory in /mnt/ called 'media' for instance, so 'cd /mnt/; mkdir media' and then run 'mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/media' [00:53] LjL do you have a hardy build [00:53] adub: we don't want actual binary packages to be downloaded from intrepid repositories [00:53] LjL ok [00:53] adub: yes, but you really shouldn't take binary packages from strangers. anyway, we're nearly done [00:54] you know what if i would have known about the apt-get build-dep zoneminder [00:54] i probably could have had this installed long ago [00:54] ryushe: is it best to make it in the media or mnt directory ? [00:54] i have the zoneminder package in .deb format [00:54] ryushe: is it best to make it in the /media or /mnt directory ? [00:54] adub: but you would have installed it from the upstream source, which can be a bad idea [00:54] i pulled it from this interpid box im on now [00:54] oh [00:55] adub: that would not have worked, build-dep gets the dependencies to *compile*, not the ones to run the *binary* .deb package [00:55] ubuntu_user: btw, it's "all your base are belong to us!" [00:55] ahhhh LjL i see [00:55] ubuntu_user: ;) [00:55] Chunky_Bacon: he's long gone [00:55] oh [00:55] TecR0c: I would use /mnt/ as that's sort of what it was intended for, and also seeing as Ubuntu creates a dir in /media/ on the fly once you mount it from within the GUI [00:55] need some help, i have a machine that booted to a logon screen and desktop ... my cursor is a white square ... and my logon and desktop are in false color .... any way to fix this problem ... nvidia 8800GTS [00:55] TecR0c: just to keep things separate if you see what I mean [00:55] LjL: thanks. [00:55] LjL thanks for helping i run that one command inside the zoneminder direcotry right [00:55] My firefox is dead getting "Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.0.1 and 1.9.0.*." as the error, any fixes? [00:56] adub: yes, "dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc". then if you "cd ..", you should find a .deb package ready to be installed with gdebi or dpkg -i in that directory. [00:57] Hola, what is the idea behind secure-remove? Isn't regular rm good enough? [00:57] need some help, i have a machine that booted to a logon screen and desktop ... my cursor is a white square ... and my logon and desktop are in false color .... any way to fix this problem ... nvidia 8800GTS [00:57] MeVsTheVoices, try this 'sudo xulrunner-1.9 --register-global' [00:57] ryushe: ok, now that i have mounted it. how would i be able to check that the folder is sdb2 ? [00:57] adub: for your information, if there hadn't been this little difficulty with line 281, you'd just have done "apt-get build-dep packagename ; apt-get --build source packagename", and you'd have found yourself with a working .deb immediately [00:57] adub: we had to complicate that a little because of having to edit the sourcecode [00:58] shadowwulf: are you using the nv or nvidia driver? [00:58] exodus_ms: Great stuff, thank you tons [00:58] TecR0c: just running mount in a terminal will show you all the mounted filesystems and whatnot on your machine. btw, to unmount: 'umount /mnt/media' [00:58] LjL ya im glad b/c the old version is buggy [00:58] ok ... i just now rebooted form a kernel panic .... what do I do? ... where do I find the cause? [00:58] MiraiWarren0_0, nvidia driver .. i at least got it to reconize that [00:58] of this app like i would set a password to a user [00:58] exodus_ms++ [00:58] and all would go to crap [00:59] adub: has it finished compiling? i need to go away soon [00:59] shadowwulf: have you run nvidia-xconfig as root? [00:59] please help .... i just now rebooted form a kernel panic .... what do I do? ... where do I find the cause? [00:59] okay/// [00:59] LjL it is still compiling this is on a somewhat slower box [00:59] dale, still having audio probs? [00:59] yes [00:59] MiraiWarren0_0, trying now [00:59] !acrobat [00:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about acrobat [01:00] MiraiWarren0_0, same thing [01:00] dale: more importantly, you didn't run the command that was posted here earlier did you? [01:00] ikonia: you there? [01:00] MiraiWarren0_0, no change [01:00] hi guys, where do I configure system wide my keyboard layout at X11? [01:00] MeVsTheVoices, ff working? [01:00] no, i did not... [01:00] hey how do I install adobe acrobat? [01:00] shadowwulf: For me, running that and then setting the res with nvidia-settings would work. [01:00] dale: good [01:00] ok, I installed ATI drivers on Ubuntu 8.10. I know xorg.conf no longer holds video information, but I can't get above 65Hz, is there anyway I can change this? [01:00] ok there is a file in my package [01:00] i will run the install on the deb now [01:00] MiraiWarren0_0, where do i set the settings [01:01] hi guys, where do I configure system wide my keyboard layout at X11? [01:01] !acroread [01:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about acroread [01:01] Perhaps,I'll go back and install 7.04 Ubuntu... [01:01] there is more depends to install i can get those though prolly [01:01] How do I change my hostname? [01:01] adub: you can just use gdebi to install it, that will get the dependencies too [01:01] !gdebi | adub [01:01] racquad: system > prefs > keyboard [01:01] adub: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [01:01] solexious: edit /etc/hostname [01:01] shadowwulf: A program called "nvidia-settings" should have been installed along with your driver, and it shoud show the driver version on the first page of its window. [01:02] !hostname | solexious [01:02] solexious: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [01:02] Transmission bittorrent client downloaded 850MB, but the folder it's saving it to only has 8MB. Is there any way I can get it to spit out that 850MB so I can switch to another client app that lets me prioritize files? [01:02] hi, i encounter difficulties installing realplayer from their website's DEB. i'm running ibex. i get a dependency called lsb whoch in turn depends on other packages. what can i do? [01:02] but with this I will only change for my user. I want system wide [01:02] ryushe: i have just tried to unmount the partition and it says : /mnt/Media: device is busy. [01:02] jesus [01:02] MiraiWarren0_0, i cant see the desktop that easy .. i see the desktop but cant read any of the letters ... [01:02] TecR0c: are you currently IN the directory or do you have it open in Nautilus? [01:02] Has anyone successfully installed Hardy on a Thumper (Sun x4500?) [01:03] (please save me from SuSE!) [01:03] bro its keeps going this file depends on this file and this file and this file but it is not oging to be installed etc [01:03] I did a "sudo apt-get install opera" and it said it is already the newest version. I want the newest version of everything because I run Ubuntu Ibex 8.10. [01:03] MiraiWarren0_0, any way to do that through a bash prompt ? [01:03] ryushe: no i dont have the directory open in the gui or terminal [01:03] FishieFoo: last time I checked, Transmission allows you to prioritize [01:03] MiraiWarren0_0, maybe recovery mode ? [01:03] TecR0c: very sure? [01:03] ryushe: it says the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1)) === njdube_ is now known as njdube [01:04] shadowwulf: Oh, and did you restart the x session "ctrl + alt + backspace" And yes run nvidia-settings in a bash prompt. [01:04] shadowwulf: You shouldn't need to go to recovery mode. [01:04] MiraiWarren0_0, what is the exact command i want to use ? [01:04] adub: uhm i'm sorry but i just have to go now, you may have to edit debian/zoneminder.substvars and change the dependencies... [01:04] hi all, what is the kvm channel again? #ubuntu-vrit? [01:04] MiraiWarren0_0, cant do anything else ... wont drop into tty [01:05] anyone? [01:05] shadowwulf: First logout and back in, if you can to restart x. [01:05] freetown: kvm? [01:05] ryushe: I can't click on any of the files to set any priorities. [01:05] please help .... i just now rebooted form a kernel panic .... what do I do? ... where do I find the cause? [01:05] LjL dern [01:05] lol [01:05] TecR0c: running either lsof or fuser should show you who or what is using the disk right now, but try unmounting again first [01:05] Kumool, virtualization module [01:05] zetheroo: run memtest [01:06] FishieFoo: looked in the inspector? [01:06] Kumool: what about logs [01:06] MiraiWarren0_0, done [01:06] yo yo yo [01:06] mir then what [01:06] ryushe: what is that? [01:06] MiraiWarren0_0, then what [01:06] zetheroo: memtest first [01:06] shadowwulf: Open "gnome-terminal". [01:06] ryushe: i have tried running it again now luck. [01:07] FishieFoo: see the details button? [01:07] hmm....i might get a answer here before the cows come home. Is there virtio support in Hardy? [01:07] ryushe: no. only properties. [01:07] MiraiWarren0_0, as i said ... i cant see the text to navigate to the terimal in the menu [01:07] lsfob shows me heaps of content =/ [01:08] TecR0c: then try this: 'umount -f /mnt/media' [01:08] shadowwulf: What can you use? [01:08] Kumool: what will a memtest do? [01:08] FishieFoo: when I add a torrent to transmission there is the first screen where you can select which files you want, which also lists priority [01:08] it will test ur ram zetheroo [01:09] Kumool: and how will that help solve the issue? [01:09] MiraiWarren0_0, recovery mode and thats bout it ... cant see but for false colors on logon and desktop ... i can see that it has booted into it ... but i cant see anything to navigate through the desktop ... its like all the white was taken off [01:09] How do I get .exes to default open with Wine? So I don't have to keep going though Open With crap. [01:09] zetheroo: kernel panic happens because of a f'ed up kernel or ram issues... altho it depends on what the error was [01:09] ryushe: huh... I don't have any of that. something is wrong... [01:10] FishieFoo: and when it's already running, clicking on an active torrent and then clicking the big blue Details icon top-right of the window will show you a details window for that specific torrent. there again you can change priority [01:10] Hi [01:10] shadowwulf: So you have the GNOME desktop? [01:10] SanoSan: properties [01:10] MiraiWarren0_0, i do [01:10] SanoSan: do open with, but select to remember the pairing of app and file type [01:10] SanoSan: learn to use right click better :) [01:10] FishieFoo: select a torrent, open the inspector. click over to the files, and r-click to select priority [01:10] FishieFoo: this is what it should look like: http://www.transmissionbt.com/images/screenshots/gtk-large.png [01:10] Kumool: well even if it says something negative about my RAM I don't think I would replace my RAM to make Intrepid work ... ha ... I mean Hardy works fine as does Win XP Pro [01:10] I cant view movies in youtube mozzila, although I downloaded all three suggested plugins (addons). who can help me? [01:10] Kumool: :P [01:10] Kumool: so I don't see why I should do a memtest .... [01:11] sudo apt-get install flash-plugin-nonfree [01:11] did that? [01:11] TecR0c: any joy? [01:11] FishieFoo: err, by inspector i mean "torrent details" [01:11] zetheroo: it will f up sooner or later its better to know now than paying some mechanic 50 bucks for something you could have avoided sooner [01:11] ryushe: i still get the same message. [01:11] shadowwulf: Alright, alt + F2 should get you a prompt. Type nvidia-settings, and read the "NVIDIA Driver Version". [01:11] Tekno: you on 32bit or 64bit? [01:12] TecR0c: that's very odd [01:12] FishieFoo: that do it? [01:12] MiraiWarren0_0, goes to a blank screen and monitor goes to standby [01:12] help ? [01:12] its just my luck lol [01:12] TecR0c: the only other way to fix a stubborn mount that I know of is rebooting :( [01:12] Kumool: what do you mean? The RAM must be fine ... why would Hardy work fine and Intrepid cough up its spleen with the same RAM? [01:12] Any known issues with running Photoshop CS2 under Wine? [01:12] zetheroo: then use an older kernel [01:13] zetheroo: just run the test it wont hurt [01:13] Kumool: ha ... but it won't help either ... [01:13] ryushe: thanks anyways :P atleast i am learning [01:13] ConstantineXVI: I don't have any "details" anywhere. uhm... if I remove the torrent from the app, will it dump the 850MB of progress it's made into the destination folder, or is it just going to lose it? I checked the hidden .transmission folder and there's nothing in there. [01:13] SanoSan: http://luiscosio.com/how-to-adobe-photoshop-cs2-on-ubuntu-10-steps [01:13] SanoSan: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=2631 === Brad_ is now known as Arsdoff [01:13] zetheroo: it will help if an error occurs if an error doesnt occur then the problem is buntu [01:14] ActionParsnip: Ahh, thank you ^_^ [01:14] FishieFoo: there's a blue "i" icon in the transmission toolbar. select your torrent and click that [01:14] TecR0c: for further learning, google up on 'mounting NTFS drives Ubuntu' should return a lot of hits for you to read ;) [01:14] * Arsdoff failed to install ubuntu eee [01:14] ok, no worries. [01:14] ConstantineXVI: nope. not on mine. [01:14] Kumool: don't worry ... I have been told by a few ppl to do a memtest ... but the logic in that is somehow lost .... if there is an error I would still say it is an issue with Ubuntu Intrepid since Hardy works despite the RAM as does Win XP Pro ... see? [01:14] FishieFoo: no toolbar? [01:15] ConstantineXVI: there's something wrong with his setup for some reason, that's what I mentioned earlier as well ;) [01:15] Kumool: I have 3 GB of RAM ... how long would a memtest take? [01:15] ConstantineXVI: my toolbar consists of add, start, stop, remove, properties, and preferences. [01:15] FishieFoo: properties [01:15] shadowwulf: Sorry man, your past my experience. Get to another system if you can (maybe in a dual boot) and search for linux or ubuntu and nvidia. [01:15] zetheroo: about an hour i suppose [01:15] MiraiWarren0_0, ok thanks [01:16] shadowwulf: No sweat. [01:16] ConstantineXVI: yeah. properties has two tabs. general, and files. I can't select any of the files in the files tab. no right or left click, nothing. [01:16] zetheroo: depends on ram latency and cpu speed [01:16] yes === Pici` is now known as Pici [01:16] Hi I am trying to boot the 8.10 live dvd but after the bootsplash it kicks me to the command line and I get ubuntu@ubuntu:~ [01:16] ActionParsnip: C2D T9300 2.5GHZ [01:16] I think something's wrong with my copy of Transmission. It seems to be stunted. [01:17] zetheroo: and what latencys does your ram have? [01:17] FishieFoo: it does seem so, saw the screenshot I posted? [01:17] ActionParsnip: latency? ... [01:17] How do I stop evolution from putting an icon in the tray upon email receive? [01:17] ryushe: yes. mine's sort of like that, but without any of that priority stuff or checkboxes. [01:17] zetheroo: the read, write and read+write speed [01:17] . [01:18] ryushe: and the progress bar is different as well. mine are orange and have no text. [01:18] why can't I view youtube after a clean install of ubuntu ? [01:18] How do I get my Eee Pc to recognize the usb drive on boot? The laptop is now useless in Xubuntu because I messed up the screen setings, it is now unreadable when I boot, and I do not think I can navigate to make the interface work again. I want to put the installer on my USB drive using my other computer, put it in the usb slot, boot the Eee Pc, and have it install. How can this happen? [01:18] xintruder: you need to install flash [01:18] !flash | xintruder [01:18] xintruder: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [01:18] xintruder: ur blind [01:18] FishieFoo: what version of ubuntu are you on? [01:18] ActionParsnip: ummm ... this is a Thinkad R61 .... [01:19] FishieFoo: the orange is probably your system color theme or something. I would try to reinstall Transmission via package manager [01:19] If I remove my torrent from the client, will it dump the 850MB it's downloaded so far into the destination folder, or is it just going to lose it? because I can't find it in the hidden .transmission folder. [01:19] yeah... thats helpful [01:19] zetheroo: its probably some budget stuff, coyuld take an hour or so [01:19] Kumool: I am not.

[01:25] itai_michaelson: or do ctrl+alt+f1 (ctrl+alt+f7 to come back to the desktop) [01:25] OK, so I finally got Intrepid working with my Intel graphics (problem was Compiz). However, I STILL without a Shut down screen, and logging off still results in a blank screen (or restarting X). Any ideas? [01:25] FishieFoo: in that case, see if reinstalling it via your package manager helps [01:25] archangelpetro, if i do that now will xchat get shut? [01:26] itai_michaelson: no [01:26] itai_michaelson: not with ctrl_alt+f1, no [01:26] itai_michaelson: itl close [01:26] Anyone seen a Bluez v4.21 Ubuntu package?

However, I STILL without a Shut down screen, and logging off still results in a blank screen (or restarting X). Any ideas? [01:31] itai_michaelson: it doesnt just handle the boot startup...

[01:32] ryushe: there's no way to check the version. no "about" button for Transmission. [01:32] FishieFoo: there's something wrong there. Is there no 'Help' menu option at the top? [01:32] itai_michaelson: if ur fixed on it then just kill it tho dont go about saying theres problems with ur pc later [01:32] ryushe: nope.

[01:34] FishieFoo: in that case, I would recommend purging the package and reinstalling it brand new [01:34] ardchoille: uninstall it [01:34] :P [01:34] ryushe: how do I do that? which package? [01:34] Kumool: if you can't be helpful, please leave. The folks here are trying to solve issues and your comments aren't helping much. [01:35] im trying to mount an iso, but im getting: CD-ROM is NOT in ISO 9660 format [01:35] darth10, alt+F1 doesn't kill x for me, is that gnome specific ? [01:35] itai_michaelson: ctrl-atl-backspace [01:35] itai_michaelson: it doesnt kill gnome it just goes to a tty [01:35] i mount with sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop image.iso /media/isoimage [01:36] Kumool: you dont know? [01:36] hello [01:36] test34, ctrl-alt-back brings me to XDM, i want something that will send me to tty and kill X [01:36] ardchoille: if you dont see an option for it to halt it then [01:36] could someone please assist me in setting up a bluetooth mouse in mythbuntu? [01:36] FishieFoo: 'dpkg --purge transmission-common' and 'dpkg --purge transmission-gtk' as root or as sudo, then reinstall said packages [01:36] Kumool, so how do i kill x and xdm and get to tty? [01:36] does anyone know where is the option to insert a new page in open office writer? is the only way to do so through page break? [01:37] OK, so I finally got Intrepid working with my Intel graphics (problem was Compiz). However, I'm STILL without a Shut down screen, and logging off still results in a blank screen (or restarting X). Any ideas? [01:37] itai_michaelson: you don't have to kill anything, just do ctrl+alt+f1 (or f2, or f3, etc) [01:37] itai_michaelson: tty 1-6 ctrl+alt+f1 to f6 [01:37] ryushe: I'm pretty sure I first installed it just this afternoon. I'm not sure how it could have gotten messed up before I installed it... === junglist313 is now known as wnstn [01:37] xintruder: not really all that comes up to me is a driver problem... which couldnt be... :P [01:37] itai_michaelson: do you mean gdm [01:38] FishieFoo: that's a fair point [01:38] test34, no i mean XDM [01:38] i installed the bluetooth software but still i cant find a bluetooth setup in mythbuntu [01:38] ardchoille, but i do want to kill X [01:38] itai_michaelson: it won't kill x [01:38] ardchoille: he wants to free resources so killing everything is the only solution [01:38] itai_michaelson: ps aux | grep xdm | kill -9 xdm_pid ? [01:38] itai_michaelson: I know you probably already tried this, but....what about dropping to root consol in a recovery session, and uninstalling X? [01:38] i need to copy the text from a pdf in ubuntu -- it doesn't seem that xpdf let's me copy [01:38] Kumool: that's not what he just said [01:39] ardchoille: thats what he said a couple mins ago [01:39] ardchoille, Open Evolution and select: [01:39] edit/plugins uncheck the plugin "Mail Notification". This should stop the notification box from opening from the Panel (task bar).. [01:39] lets me copy (sorry) [01:39] itai_michaelson: if you want to stop x: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (or xdm) [01:39] ryushe: maybe i should wait for this system update to finish... maybe that will miraculously solve this problem. I don't understand how Ubuntu could be version 7.10 if my mom's been running the update, unless she's been mistaken. or unless it's been buggered up, like she shut it down or its refusing to update. [01:39] Anybody know of a way to modify the size of the icons in the main menu? [01:39] FishieFoo: see if this helps at all. It desribes how to get latest transmission in Ubuntu: http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5604 [01:39] Eurysilas, because i need X sometimes, i want to toggle between X and no X [01:39] bonhoffer: some pdf are images [01:39] anyone know why it takes so long for the new version of the gimp to get on apt-get ? [01:39] itai: Ah......That's right. Sorry. My mistake. ;) [01:40] How do I reset screen settings from safe mode? [01:40] ardchoille, thats what i want! so back to x will be startx ,right? [01:40] *itai_michaelson [01:40] pumpkinseed: because apt-get doesnt get gimp? [01:40] bonhoffer: images of text that is... you need an Optical character recognition software [01:40] hello, my wireless stopped working [01:40] itai_michaelson: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start (or xdm) [01:40] exodus_ms: Ah, found it thank you very much. There's also ways to configure that plugin too :) [01:41] itai_michaelson: you know... swap and ram exist for a reason you know... [01:41] Kumool, sadly I don't have much of neither [01:41] ardchoille, thank you very much [01:41] ardchoille, wasnt sure exactly what you were asking :) [01:41] itai_michaelson: yw :) [01:41] itai_michaelson: how do you hope to have xchat oopen when you dont have x? [01:42] exodus_ms: you fixed it :) [01:42] ardchoille, cool [01:42] Anyone think they can help? [01:42] does anyone know where is the option to insert a new page in open office writer? is the only way to do so through page break? [01:42] hello all [01:42] Or is there a help chat I can join [01:43] Kumool, i rarely need x, so i want to keep the server X free most of the time, but sometimes i need to run a graphic programme so i want to be able to toggle back into x. [01:43] .... my synaptic package manager only had 3 transmission packages available, not 4... === Fougner is now known as Fougner|Zzzz [01:43] nick_______ Before anybody can help you, you gotta tell us what the problem is first [01:43] i installed the flash for mozila, now I only get to see a black screen in youtube. any ideas?# [01:43] bah. I can't even check it while the system update is downloading. [01:44] Anyone know how to get a M-AUDIO Oxygen 8 usb midi keyboard working? I googled and I gather I have to flash the firmware, I got the firmware loader through synaptic but I can't find the new firmware. [01:44] My wireless stopped working. This chat moves kind of fast [01:44] nick_______ but how did it stop working, like, after what, did you update your system, etc? [01:45] After I restarted [01:45] I had been playing Tremulous, then it sort of froze. [01:45] Did you do a hard reboot? [01:46] no [01:46] wait yes [01:46] had to [01:46] I figured. [01:47] So, no one knows about why my shutdown screen is blank? [01:48] Eurysilas: isnt it a good thing that the screen gets blank when you shutdown [01:48] Eurysilas: you're using nvidia with installed drivers? [01:49] test34: No. I need to see when the little progress bar is finished, so I can manually turn the thing off (APM is broken, evidently). [01:50] my eeepc is screwed until I can see what I'm doing. I'm running xfce(sp?) and the interface is scrambled. I need to reset the screen settings without being able to use the GUI. Can this be done? [01:50] Eurysilas: look at your HD light if you can't figure out the problem [01:50] ardchoille: Nope. Though, I gather they've had trouble as well. I use intel drivers (I'm integrated). [01:50] Eurysilas: ah, ok, I had that problem with the nvidia 173 driver [01:51] Arsdoff: for xfce you should probably ask in #xubuntu [01:51] hello [01:51] thx [01:51] could someone please assist me in setting up a bluetooth mouse in mythbuntu? [01:51] theres mythbuntu? [01:51] yes [01:51] O_o? sry for my cluelessness [01:52] does it come with lots of sherlock holmes books? [01:52] Arsdoff: try ctrl-alt-f1 and edit xorg.conf.. then restart X [01:52] in ubuntu 8.10 do we have to install preload etc to speed things up? or is it all included now? [01:53] Eurysilas: try opening a terminal and typing: sudo shutdown -h now [01:53] or mayb a bible :P [01:53] hi everyone [01:54] Soooo.... [01:54] Anyway, I was guessing that it had something to do with changing resolutions, so I was going to edit whatever files necessary to keep it from switching to a new resolution. Unfortunately, for USplash (the program I THINK that controls the shutdown and boot-up screens), you have to mess with a boot loader file in the process, and I've no clue on what to edit when it comes to the X server restarting (xorg.conf, maybe? With this new X Server, who knows). [01:54] Nick did you try restarting your wireless router? [01:54] Can anyone help me? [01:54] Yeah [01:54] ok i just installed ubuntu 8.10 and tried to enable nvidia drivers 177 within the restricted drivers. Did a reboot and xorg failed saying no devices found. I have also had this same problem with archlinux any suggestions? [01:55] IT doesn't work at other homes [01:55] I just setup an SVN repo but when I try to import a project I get "permission denied", what permissions do I need to set the folder to? [01:55] nick______ did you try restarting your wireless router? [01:55] yeah [01:55] I just said [01:55] b ... [01:55] ... ... [01:55] ... ... [01:55] Arsdoff: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:56] wnstn: Oh? I'd rather have it work from the graphical menu. This is one of those things that doesn't strictly HAVE to be fixed, but would be NICE to.

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesudo (KDE) [01:57] Eurysilas: Sorry you sounded like you were in a hurry. Also it would list the process as it's shutting them down so you may be able to spot the problem from there. :) [01:57] ok, I installed the proprietary ATI drivers (fglrx), I got the resolution I want, but I can't seem to get the proper refresh rate. Ubuntu 8.10, ATI Radeon Xpress 200, Dell P991 19" [01:57] sup [01:58] whats the subject [01:58] If I can get help with configuring the refresh rate, that would be great. (since I can no longer configure it from xorg.conf) [01:58] ardchoille; the files are in my pendrive and when i use the mouse and click on them then it says permission denied [01:58] wnstn: Ah. OK. ;) [01:58] DarkKnight, what file are you trying to delete? [01:59] DarkKnight: ok, you need to check the permissions of the mount point or see if the drive is mounted read only (ro) === ubuntu_ is now known as insonnetp [01:59] exodus_ms; certain virus infected files; the files contain the elements of a web page; that is wen u save a webpage, along with with a webpage a files is also created related to the webpage [01:59] So anyway, i've had problems with this wifi card before. [01:59] ardchoille; how do i do that [01:59] bye [02:00] DarkKnight: to check how the drive is mounted, open a terminal and type: mount [02:00] It wouldn't work with Hardy Heron, or Debian or Lenny. [02:01] I was suprized when it worked with 8.10, but then it stopped [02:02] nick_______: what wifi card is it?

It installs fine, but once I reboot, GRUB messes up. In my GRUB config, root= is set as a UUID. I've tried root=/dev/sda1 and /dev/hda1 but nothing seems to boot.

[02:12] So, I'm thinking I might just reinstall the system. [02:12] MrCollins: If it's the sound issue, I can't help, I don't use sound [02:12] i.e. apt-get has version 9.4 and the new version is 9.6 [02:13] pumpkinseed: you won't see it, we only get bug fixes and security updates.. no new version after release [02:13] Hi [02:13] Hi slinkeey. [02:13] ardc yeah its the sound issue [02:13] After a suspend my video jitter in 8.04 and 8.10.... What could this be [02:13] Everything is great up untill I suspend the PC [02:14] ardchoille - doesn't 9.6 have bug fixes from 9.4 [02:14] MrCollins: have you done any kernel updates since the last time you rebooted? I;ve seen some folks saying that the last kernel upgrade messed with sound somehow [02:14] How do you set DHCP leases to be automatically entered in DNS? [02:14] pumpkinseed: no idea, just wanted to let you know to not count on seeing the new version === a34lkj2348dsf311 is now known as Jim_H [02:14] ardchoille, as a matter of fact, I did an update from the updater that appears in the top, sound WAS working, then I rebooted tonight and boom no sound [02:15] I can't figure out why I can't get my external monitor to go to 1680x1050. when I have xrandr do a print out it's only showing this as a max: maximum 2624 x 1024. This worked under Kubuntu 8.04. I'm now just trying out Ubuntu 8.10 clean install [02:15] MrCollins: sounds like the new kernel messed with your sound. I can't help but that info will help you narrow the problem down [02:15] has anyone heard of video twitching after waking the computer from susped? [02:15] suspend [02:16] ardchoille, how do i check to see if i have the latest video card drivers [02:16] hello [02:16] Hello bsusa. [02:16] How do you set DHCP leases to be automatically entered in DNS? [02:16] MrCollins: update the system (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade) and you'll have the latest of stuff from the repos. [02:16] could someone please assist me in setting up a bluetooth mouse in mythbuntu? [02:17] hello Windoze [02:17] Hello bsusa. [02:17] does anyone know when bluetooth will be fixed on intrepid? [02:17] Is there a channel to ask DNS or DHCP questions [02:18] ardchoille, its all up to date [02:18] linux29684: let me know if you find out [02:18] imho: this is a big problem with linux in general. People have to go searching for repositories because most application websites simply tell you to go to synaptec to get their app. Additionally, users are always hit with "but you can always compile the source". But that is always a big fat pain in the arse... [02:18] ardchoille, how do I check to see if I am using 3d acceleration in my games like open arena etc? [02:18] hello... anyone know where i found satanic theme for ubuntu 7.10 [02:18] Hello H4wK. [02:18] MrCollins: then you have the latest of your software from the repos, can't get any more up to date than that [02:19] Is there a channel to ask DNS or DHCP questions [02:19] if it works at all [02:19] MrCollins: Not sure how to do that [02:19] test34: I wish someone would know the answer to that, it seems everyone can not get bluetooth working on intrepid [02:20] ardchoille: the repository usually don't have the latest version of anything [02:20] test34: damn straight [02:20] ardchoille: I'm not saying that isnt for a good reason, because their might be more bugs in the new version [02:20] Jim_H: dhclient should renew leases, DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf should remain the same. on hardy atleast. [02:21] test34: if you update from the repos, you will have the latest of what the repos contain, yes [02:21] gnutron, how can i lock the resolv.conf so it no longer changes? [02:21] test34: very true. and I realize that too, but users should still have the option to get new versions [02:21] a sudo chmod 444 /etc/resolv.conf does not work [02:21] linux29684: I think the problem is that bt-audio became obsolete [02:21] gnutron, if a client joins a network and gets DHCP information, how can my DNS server automatically create an entry for that client ? [02:21] archoille: and the repos never have new versions of anything [02:21] gnutron, thank you for replying, btw [02:21] an1 else in here have the issue with wifi where as kubuntu actually gets a better signal than ubuntu? [02:22] wtf === _Cloud__ is now known as _Cloud_ [02:22] linux29684: that should need to be changed unless your ISP changed it's nameservers. [02:22] could someone please assist me in setting up a bluetooth mouse in mythbuntu? [02:22] linux29684: that should Not need to be changed unless your ISP changed it's nameservers. sorry [02:22] brainzcan, i would have to wonder how you are doing the comparison. I dont see how thats even possible. [02:22] theres a bug in kvpnc that keeps changing the dns servers [02:22] i want to lock the resolv.conf [02:22] i installed the bluetooth software but still i cant find a bluetooth setup in mythbuntu [02:23] hello [02:23] Hello ardchoille. [02:23] linux29684: I would avoid kvpnc, it should'nt do that [02:23] dr_willis - in know right, i thought the only difference was the KDE interface but no [02:23] I'm having a strange problem where when I print a test page FROM my printer, it prints great... when I try to print normally, or a test page via Ubuntu, nothing shows up... though the print head moves as if it was printing. Any ideas? [02:23] gnutron: its the only software of its kind === mike is now known as Guest20637 [02:24] brainzcan, how are you 'testing' these speeds? [02:24] pumpkinseed: you can alsways go from source.. or try to find the package somewhere on the web [02:24] m [02:24] not only speeds but signal strengths [02:24] linux29684: i'm not familiar with it, but it should not mess with nameservers. [02:24] gnutron: anyway to lock the resolv.conf, the chmod 444 didn't work [02:25] linux29684, use 'chattr +a' i think.. [02:25] linux29684, root user could alter any file reguardless of its mode. [02:25] linux29684: I would'nt changed the permissions either, perhaps check with the developers website or documentation. [02:25] chattr -i (makes the file imutable even to root) [02:25] dr_willis : yeah we put both on a laptop and trust me there is a difference but I don't know wtf it is other than the KDE which should have nothing to do with it. [02:25] dr_willis: chattr: Operation not supported while reading flags on /etc/resolv.conf [02:25] ok I am back [02:26] did the memtest and no errors ... [02:26] what now?

[02:31] dr_willis, yes it was working pre 8.10 upgrade [02:31] __BSD__: did you build xtightvncserver or apy-get it [02:31] bdelin88: that's nice, dear. have a juice box.

[02:32] <__BSD__> gnutron: would it be better to try to build it? [02:32] this is really getting to be a headache ... everyone seems to have a different solution to the same problem ... and none of them really work in this case ... ha [02:32] bdelin88: you can stop now. [02:32] dr_willis, no I was not aware of that...where do I do that? [02:33] is there anything I can use to scan documents besides xsane? it locks up on me at random points [02:33] jpastore, at least i can that feature with my linux box's as the guest os :) and windows as my host OS.. not sure about the reverse [02:33] pfff... [02:33] no fun [02:33] binarymutant: try the openoffice suite [02:33] __BSD__: with any distro its wise to stick with pre-built packages, but it can probably be done. [02:33] jpastore, virtualbox docs. and the ubuntu virtualbox wiki/guide mention it. [02:33] Hello, I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and i am trying to install the ATI driver for my radeon, and everytime i do "sudo aticonfig --initial" i get "Segmentation fault" and it doesnt recognize the device [02:33] Is there a channel to ask DNS or DHCP questions [02:33] How do you set DHCP leases to be automatically entered in DNS? [02:33] dr_willis, is that in the settings of vbox and I have to stop the box? [02:33] linux29684, do you know of anything else? [02:34] binarymutant: i didn't get sane to work, but openoffice worked well; haven't tried any others [02:34] hi [02:34] thanks for the info linux29684 [02:34] How to make the iTALC in ltsp-server can automatic display thin-client? [02:34] jpastore, the vbox front end has a gui/interface to set up what directores are 'vbox shared' and then if the guest OS is linux, and you have the vbox addons installed. You just mount the special location with mount command and the filetype of 'vboxfs' (i think) [02:35] Enter text here...03970399 [02:35] Anyone know why ubuntu keeps telling me the wrong max resolution for my external monitor?

[02:35] how do you run mingw in ubuntu? [02:35] dr_willis, I think I figured it out...booting it back up to see [02:36] How do you set DHCP leases to be automatically entered in DNS? [02:36] Jim_H: is your network configured for dhcp? [02:37] Jim_H: can you rephrase your question or give more details [02:37] gnutron, yes it is configured for dhcp [02:37] Jim_H: im on hardy and networkmanager should handle all that. [02:37] i just lost my sound in the middle of watching a flash video.. how do i begin troubleshooting this? i have nvidia on a compaq f700 [02:37] gnutron, I'm running a dhcp server and a dns server [02:38] gnutron, linux29684 when a client joins the network and is issued DHCP information, I want my DNS entries to update and create an entry for that client [02:38] losttheshizzle: does your sound still work; can you play mp3's? [02:39] Jim_H: ah....that's different, you need a networking wizard. perhaps it's a BIND issue. [02:39] Theeb: Does installing the driver through the restricted drivers manager not work? [02:39] linux29684: no, when i go to test sounds nothing happens.. no startup sound.. nada [02:39] Jim_H: I don't know the answer; i might guess run a script on the router [02:39] pckchem, no it doesnt [02:39] gnutron, linux29684 thank you for your replies - I'll keep searching [02:39] losttheshizzle: have you tried to reboot; i know the compaq f700 series have had some trouble with audio in the past [02:39] Theeb, what error do you get when you attempt to install. Same segmentation fault error? [02:40] gnutron, linux29684 one other thing - when I set up dns/dhcp on a windows machine it does exactly what i'm asking [02:40] Theeb, sounds like a bug in xorg? [02:40] what is the longest ps/2 cable that can be used for a mouse or a keyboard? [02:40] gnutron, linux29684 if my machine name is ubuntu-client and i join the network, I can suddenly type "nslookup ubuntu-client" and it will show [02:41] gnutron, linux29684 "ubuntu-client.domainname.com" and the associated IP address [02:41] gnutron, linux29684 are you guys familiar with that ? [02:41] pckchem, everytime i do "sudo aticonfig --initial". when i reboot, it says no device detected [02:41] linux29684: yes, multiple times with no luck.. this happened after setting up a us-122 audio interface yesterday.. but the problem didn't crop up until today.. not sure if the us-122 installation is related.. when the sound stopped working it got stuck in a "sound loop"... sounded like a dsp resource bug.. [02:41] exodus_ms, how do i fix the xorg? [02:41] Jim_H: i know in linux the hostname is editable in /etc/hostname for each client computer; you can also change the computer names by mac addresses on most routers [02:41] why is it that certain files on my pendrive have a lock mark on top of irt [02:42] Theeb, try this http://paste.ubuntu.com/79097/ [02:42] why is it that certain files on my pendrive have a lock mark on top of it [02:42] losttheshizzle: maybe try to send /dev/random data into the /dev/audio-device for testing [02:42] pckchem, ok [02:42] linux29684, thanks for your suggestion - I'll keep looking [02:42] Theeb, log out then log in... sorry dyslexic moment [02:43] i figured :p [02:43] DarkKnight: this shows the permissions of the files, you can sudo chmod 755 filename or sudo chmod 777 filename to get rid of the lock [02:43] linux29684 - what is the exact command for that? [02:43] I have Java installed and sometimes on some web pages it says it isn't running? Does it not run all the time automatically? If not how do I turn it on and off please? [02:43] pckchem, brb [02:43] linux29684; but the permissions weren't there before....it just got on its own [02:44] losttheshizzle: i know i have used it recently, but i don't know the exact command off hand; last i used it was with a matlab program [02:44] DarkKnight: is the flash stick fat or ntfs? [02:44] linux29684: okay.. i'll look around and see what i can find.. [02:45] linux29684: in the bluetooth preferences, do you know what the key and the blue "I" mean ? [02:45] linux29684; it shows msdos [02:45] Running Apache on my laptop and writing programs to communicate via HTTP with localhost. Is there a tool that can show me the whole HTTP "conversation", headers and all? [02:45] DarKKnight: well, the chmod will get rid of the locks, don't know how they got there [02:45] Just installed 8.10. Feels like learning to walk again, and man do I hate falling down. [02:46] etfb: wireshark [02:46] test34: there are no services in teh bluetooth preferences visible [02:46] is anyone currently using a Nvidia 9600 GT seris- at DDR3? (at full capacity, full desktop effects). I ask because im not able to get it to work at all. [02:46] rww: That's what someone suggested before, but it doesn't seem to do what I want. [02:46] linux29684: I can get my bluetooth headset paired.. but can't get it to work [02:46] etfb: It should. What couldn't you get it to do? [02:46] rww: I'm interested in the HTTP conversation, ie POST and GET and so on, not so much the individual packets and DNS lookups and so on. [02:46] test34: i can get no data communications with any bluetooth device; and definately no pairing [02:47] etfb: your httpd.log should show all. the name may differ [02:47] pckchem, same problem :( [02:47] rww: Not that I can get wireshark to do anything at all. The log file doesn't give headers or POST content. [02:47] test34, linux29684: have you looked for relevant bugs at bugs.ubuntu.com? There was someone here the other day who needed some help applying a patch because he couldn't get his bluetooth to work [02:48] sudo aticonfig --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf --tls=1 If you are using the ATI proprietary driver it will ignore any changes you make in xorg.conf unless you run this command [02:48] etfb: huh, thought it would show that. guess not... [02:48] linux29684: what do you get in dmesg when connecting your bluetooth adapter if its USB [02:48] jrib: its a problem with the distribution 8.10 [02:48] linux29684: right... and? [02:48] jrib: everything worked fine on ubuntu 8.04 before upgrading [02:48] has anyone used spdif with xfi? [02:48] * meoblast001 is angry [02:48] i installed mingw32 [02:48] linux29684: yes [02:48] anyone knows how to auto identify on this server so I wont have to /msg nickserv identify [02:48] why wont it come up in Code::blocks [02:48] rww: I can't make wireshark do anything at all, and a quick look through the help didn't enlighten me. [02:48] jrib: I havent looked there but I did lots of research.. I will give that a try [02:49] etfb: run it as root with sudo or gksudo [02:49] mezquitale, depends on your irc client.. xchat has a 'password' field in the server settings for it.. [02:49] mezquitale: set your client to send your nickserv password as the server password [02:49] mezquitale, I just used a 'text replace' and used /msg nickserv identify brynlee30 for /msg nickserver... [02:49] dr_willis: im using konversation [02:49] jrib: i looked at all of bugzilla and ubuntuforums [02:49] Ah! That is an option when it installs. Let me try that... [02:49] mezquitale, I just used a 'text replace' and used /msg nickserv identify brynlee30 [02:49] etfb: last time i ran apache it was /var/run/httpd.log try apache.org [02:49] linux29684: I didn't say anything about bugzilla or ubuntuforums :/ [02:50] mezquitale, very sorry, did that make any sense? [02:50] anyone use SPDIF optical out for their audio/? [02:50] etfb: for whatever reason it doesn't work properly as a normal user, and neglects to tell you that [02:50] jrib: bugs.ubuntu.com, checked and posted info there [02:50] Theeb, sorry that didn't work. Unfortunatly I have to take off here in a second. Hopefully someone else will be able to help. You can also make a post to the forums or launchpad's answer tracker. Good luck. [02:50] exodus_ms: im trying to figure out what everyone is saying LoL [02:50] ok, well looks like I need to make some changes .... [02:50] dr_willis: is xchat for gnome??? [02:51] rww: that's fixed it. I'm getting large piles of gibberish, but at least it's something. Thanks! [02:51] what to do about kernal panics? [02:51] anyone know how to use kerneloops [02:51] ?

[02:53] alex_21: edit /etc/resolv.conf (it will re-wipe everytime reboot) [02:53] aleX-xx, look in /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf [02:53] oops [02:53] alex_21: its a temporary fix, i need the solution to that as well, no one here has it i think [02:53] alex_21, [02:53] i thought both cmds are the same, no? [02:53] Mal3ko: nope [02:53] test34: bluez4 is the latest version?

[02:59] i have googled it, with no fix...any ideas? [02:59] rww: how should I install xchat? [02:59] m1xed, there's both xchat and xchat-gnome. xchat-gnome is awful. [03:00] m1xed: give me a sec to check that's the actual problem [03:00] m1xed, sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome [03:00] **xchat [03:00] Madpilot: I have xchat-gnome [03:00] typo [03:00] anyone here that will help me trouble shoot kdevelop?

I did not know that, this will remove xchat-gnome? [03:01] test34, yes, but xchat is available in Universe, happily [03:01] test34: Doesn't mean it doesn't suck [03:01] m1xed: yes [03:02] hey how can i improve my system administration skills...can suggestion [03:02] xchat-gnome isn't that bad, just not as good as xchat. [03:02] hey how can i improve my system administration skills...any suggestions [03:02] test34, the lack of a real IRC app by default in Ubuntu, and the promotion of the lousy xchat-gnome over real xchat are both long-running arguements in various Ubuntu circles [03:02] which app do you recommend I install, xchat that uses GTK or XChat-Gnome, I am currently using gnome [03:02] DarkKnight: read sysadmin books ! [03:02] sudo aptitude install xchat xchat-gnome- [03:02] m1xed, xchat [03:03] m1xed: package xchat. not package xchat-gnome. [03:03] i think xhcar better [03:03] TecR0c; any particular author?? [03:03] Madpilot: lol.. some say that Pidgin is a good irc client, i find it horrid [03:03] What do you mean that the dns in resolve.conf is temperary [03:03] Why will my /usr/bin/install not work??? [03:03] IndyGunFreak: lol, I used pidgin for IRC for a while...

[03:03] jrib: install a program [03:03] rww: i can't use pidgin for IRC... i find it horrible. [03:03] or sudo aptitude install xchat xchat-gnome_ [03:04] alex_21: everytime you reboot, it rewrites the /etc/resolve.conf to its former state [03:04] mn: erm. What program? You probably don't want to use /usr/bin/install [03:04] is DrWillis around? [03:04] exodus_ms: you'd need to leave off the _ [03:04] Dark Night, it depends on how youlearn best. I use short tutorials when I need to do something and that is how I learn, smiley, self-directed, but about books, it depends what kind of sysadmin === galactuseee is now known as galactus13eee [03:04] jrib: whoops, just a sec [03:04] IndyGunFreak: I believe the _ makes aptitude purge the package before it [03:04] IndyGunFreak, does th '_' not purge? [03:04] i got no love on following the sound troubleshooting instructions located here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting -- my drivers aren't listed because there are no nvidia drivers [03:05] exodus_ms: i don't think so. [03:05] it might. [03:05] losttheshizzle: nvidia does more than graphics? [03:05] IndyGunFreak, A _ after a package will override and purge the package [03:05] IndyGunFreak: I just checked. It does. [03:05] jrib: a prog i wrote. i just want to be able to access it through terminal [03:05] cool [03:05] hmm, didn't know that, interesting [03:05] i stand corrected then [03:05] linux29684: yeah, it's the whole chipset.. adio, graphics, ide, pci.. [03:05] IndyGunFreak: huzzah for counter-intuitive but sometimes-useful syntax! [03:06] what should I do if my monitor jitters after awakeing from suspend? [03:06] Hey, then what can I do. I can't get out on the net without dns? [03:06] This started with 8.04 and still happens in 8.10 [03:07] alex_21, you can edit the /etc/resolv.conf as root and add an opendns server as 208.67.222.222 [03:07] mn: what is it? A script? A single binary? [03:07] alex_21: this will give you internet until you reboot with dns support === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:07] slinkeey: sounds like a monitor problem. Is it a CRT? or an lcd...?

The help was of the form "Your client sucks. Get a new client", though... [03:08] alex_21: use the router as the dns server; this will use the isp dns server in the router [03:08] slinkeey: can you describe more specifically what it is doing? [03:08] jrib: i wrote the C++ for it and compiled it. I can't get the compiler to give me the option to compile or install like it was yesterday (i think it's a bit buggy) so i'm trying to do it manually. it should be a binary. g++ exited without error [03:08] jrib: by it being buggy i mean the compiler [03:08] rww, that was helpful :) [03:09] tdreyer: It likes shakes [03:09] in xchat, where do you put in your password so you can automatically identify your nick? In "Nickserv password" or "server password"??? [03:09] the screen jitters around [03:09] mezquitale: either [03:09] whats the ubuntu equivilant of mingw32-make?

[03:09] I think you are right about xchat [03:09] rww: orly? heh, i didnt know that. [03:09] I don't know the right word to explain it [03:09] Twitchy [03:09] rww: thank you, let me see if it works [03:09] jabagawee_, mezquitale: freenode passes server passwords along to nickserv [03:09] guys .. anyone using another window manager other than gnome kde , fluxbox and icewm [03:09] this server is not SSL capable? [03:10] mezquitale: nope, not SSL capable [03:10] macjason0607: why do you ask? [03:10] mn: ok, so you can run the program fine by providing the full path, right? And you just want to add it to your PATH so you can just call name_of_program directly? Just create a symlink in ~/bin/ if that is the case [03:10] macjason0607: xfce [03:10] "Set as Desktop Background" option when right clicking on a picture in last firefox version does not work.......... did anyone solve this problem yet??? [03:10] macjason0607: i've experimented with quite a few... [03:10] ok looks like i have to log out, thank you for the help, be back in a few [03:10] Guest28999: just download it to a temp folder and set it from there [03:10] Guest28999: it's a workaround, but heck, it works [03:11] Ok how do I get xchat to show the timelog and not stomp on it with the nicks [03:11] slinkeey: sorry [03:11] i'm back [03:11] its ok [03:11] bugga, allrightyO [03:11] cheers jabagawee [03:11] Slinkeey: are you using a CRT or an LCD or other? [03:11] I've got an Eee PC 901 and looking to move the /tmp dir to my ram using tmpfs. Is this a good idea? I've had some issues where the /tmp dir seems to shrink significantly very fast being on the 4gb partition [03:11] Hey, how do I tell the computer to use my router as dns server? I have a static IP [03:12] LCD [03:12] Bsims, what do you mean? [03:12] anyone??? I could use a bit of help trying to figure out why i can't configure source.. not much for trouble shooting on google [03:12] Bsims: do you have "Colored nick names" enabled? If I remember correctly, enabling that made everything stomp all everything else last time I tried it. I have "Indent nick names" and "Enable time stamps" enabled from Interface>Text box in Preferences. [03:12] cr4z3d: just wondering, but how much ram you have? [03:12] Slinkeey: cool. What model, resolution, and refresh rate? [03:12] Different video card solves the problem but I would rather keep my current one [03:12] jabagawee_: 1gb [03:12] Slinkeey: yeah [03:13] no name brand monitor [03:13] hahahaha [03:13] Bsims, have a look in the xchat Preferences [03:13] really there is no name on it [03:13] it is a card driver problem then [03:13] alex_21: edit the file /etc/resolv.conf and type "nameserver x.x.x.x" with the ip of your router [03:13] cr4z3d: personally, i'd advise against the whole "/tmp in ram" thing, but that's your call. i'm just spoiled on having 2GB ram available to me at all times [03:13] then look at text box [03:13] rww, it worked! xchat is a LOT better than konversation, konversation takes ages to start up [03:13] slinkeey: maybe. It may just be that your resolution is not what the monitor likes, or the refresh is off. LCD's have a native resolution and refresh that they work best at. [03:14] I removed the logout icon from panel, and add it back, but when i click on "logout", it only gives me: logout or switch user. where is the shut-down etc option? [03:14] true [03:14] mezquitale: W00t! Glad I could help :) [03:14] slinkeey: is there a model number somewhere on back? [03:14] yah [03:14] why would it not be a problem when i first turn on the pc? [03:14] linux29684; i have a single system at my place...how can i create a network [03:14] slinkeey: you know, good question. I don't know! [03:15] use a p2p, such as tor or i2p [03:15] iHome: Try the "User Switcher" applet instead [03:15] Yes Model A170E1-T5 [03:15] this will emulate a local network [03:15] everyone: anyone who has an idea, we'd love some advice... [03:15] Iw ill google that model [03:15] slinkeey: ok [03:15] jabagawee_: the only problem is that something seems to be eating away at my 4gb partition and bring it to no space available and then the /tmp dir will be only like 10kb of space and that limits me from downloading files or saving anything pretty much (using open office or firefox) [03:16] rww: yeah. that works. but that's not the default button? [03:16] vai tomar banho nilce [03:16] I checked /etc/resolv.conf and the nameserver is fine [03:16] How do i begin troubleshooting a flash sound issue within firefox? where do I start? [03:16] slinkeey: looks like a 1280x1024 native resolution [03:16] cr4z3d: sd cards? [03:16] iHome: Which version of Ubuntu are you using? I think it's the default in Intrepid... [03:16] rww: 8.10 [03:16] jabagawee_: hmm that could work i have a 1gb sd in there [03:16] MrCollins: im taking a really random stab here, but i think it's pulseaudio [03:16] MrCollins: my firefox audio always dies randomly [03:16] jabagawee, what do you mean? [03:17] MrCollins: and its usually pulseaudio's fault [03:17] jabagawee, how do i uninstall pulseaudio? [03:17] pulseaudio caused me so many problems.. i had to remove it and use alsa instead in 8.10 [03:17] I have OSS, Pulse and Alsa installed [03:17] I checked /etc/resolv.conf and the nameserver is fine [03:17] MrCollins: i'm not entirely sure on how to remove pulseaudio [03:18] !info pulseaudio [03:18] pulseaudio (source: pulseaudio): PulseAudio sound server. In component main, is optional. Version 0.9.10-2ubuntu9 (intrepid), package size 287 kB, installed size 1296 kB [03:18] MrCollins: but if you find out, i'd be overjoyed to learn [03:18] Slinkee: is your current resolution 1280x1024? [03:18] it all installed by itself when I installed ubuntu 8.10 because I have 2 sound cards, one is onboard and the other is a audigy2 [03:18] there is a package called pulseaudio, maybe you can remove that [03:18] i am trying to install ubuntu for the first time, and i am having issues with it just hanging when it loads. Can anyone help me out with this? [03:18] thnx jrib :) [03:18] I [03:18] i just changed it to that [03:18] node357, how do i remove the package? [03:18] let me suspend and see wha happens [03:18] what [03:18] slinkeey: k [03:18] I checked /etc/resolv.conf and the nameserver is fine I still can't connect. I have two cards on the system, but one is commented out [03:19] iHome: oh, wait, no, you're right. The default is that red square power loho, huh [03:19] MrCollins, I'm not sure if it's safe but the command would be: sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio [03:19] MrCollins, I think that's it anyway [03:19] node357, ok [03:19] I am going to try it === jussio1 is now known as jussi01 [03:19] okay MrCollins, good luck [03:19] alex_21: pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf [03:19] yep it is jittering [03:19] rww: ah.. that depends on the theme. mine was: a running boy [03:19] Puhrot: we're gonna need quite a bit more info here [03:19] I will have to reboot [03:19] node357, here we go === purple is now known as Guest9317 [03:20] slinkeey: k [03:20] anyone here familiar with pure-ftpd? how do we set so users can only browse their home dir only? [03:20] MrCollins: tell me if it works [03:20] cr4z3d: how do i lock the /etc/resolv.conf so the system does not change it? [03:20] bbl [03:20] ok here we go [03:20] MrCollins: cuz i've been really tempted to do a "sudo aptitude purge pulseaudio" [03:20] linux29684: that i do not know unfortunately [03:20] well first off i could not get to run off the cd [03:20] jabagawee, what does that do [03:20] cr4z3d: thanks anyways [03:20] it would load to the desktop and just hang [03:20] mine hasn't changed and i've edited it [03:20] Puhrot: what hardware you using? [03:21] MrCollins: its like the apt-get remove [03:21] MrCollins: but i kinda like the look of the word "aptitude" better [03:21] rww: i got another button: shut-down. the original default button=shutdown + logout [03:21] jabagawee_: do you think moving /tmp to an SD card is a good idea? i'm all for it. maybe even put the /var/logs on there too to try and free up some space [03:21] cr4z3d: mine changes because kvpnc keeps changing it and doesn't change it back [03:22] node357, I ran that command, still no sound in firefox [03:22] rww: but now they are separated. not sure where did i click [03:22] weird man, audacious works fine [03:22] games work fine.... flash no way [03:22] iHome: yeah, I'm trying to figure it out myself [03:22] I had it working but then I did a reboot [03:22] MrCollins, you might be able to change everything in Sound preferences to ALSA..... that worked for me [03:22] cr4z3d: honestly, i think thats how must eee hackers do it [03:22] linux29684: backup the working version and make a script to run when you close kvpnc to restore the version you want? just a suggestion for a quick work around [03:22] cr4z3d: and it sounds pretty smart too [03:22] i have it all set to alsa in the System -> Prefs -> Sound [03:23] ugh [03:23] Here is my /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/network/interfaces. I am blind, so if I missed something, let me know. http://paste.ubuntu.com/79103/ [03:23] i'm trying to download lsb but getting into dependency hell. is there a metapackage for it or something? (xfce on server -ibex) [03:23] MrCollins, then I don't know :( [03:23] cr4z3d: i have no scripting knowledge [03:23] node357, ok. [03:23] MrCollins: so flash audio working yet? [03:23] jabagawee, no [03:23] MrCollins: D: [03:23] jabagawee, yeah major man, I had it working too then I rebooted [03:23] so many sound problems with Intrepid :| [03:24] I had so man problems with sound in II, that I went back to hardy [03:24] linux29684: simple bash script using the "mv" command should be sufficient [03:24] So many, sorry [03:24] alex did hardy seem to work well? [03:24] cr4z3d: i don't know anything about even simple bash scripts, just *.bat and *.cmd for win32 [03:24] linux29684: same idea [03:25] linux29684: one line per command [03:25] Yes, and being a VIP, Visually Impaired person, the long term "This will stay put" attitude is great [03:25] *test* [03:25] Hardy rules [03:25] linux29684: but you add a shebang to the beginning, if you want it to run as a standalone scripot [03:25] linux29684: bash script is similar to a bat file. write the commands one on a line and make it executable with "chmod +x /path/filename" [03:25] i am running an older AMD athlon 64 3700+ setup MSI K8N mobo, geforce 7800gt, 1 gig of ram [03:25] Puhrot: any hardware that might be specifically problematic? [03:25] for everyone experiencing sound problems I ran across this thread in the forums --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [03:26] iHome: wait, I think I remember what happened. The "User Switcher" applet got added towards the end of Intrepid's testing cycle, so the old button was in Alpha 1 (where I remember it), but not the Release. If you upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid or from the Alpha to the Release, there was some complicated logic that decided whether you got the old one or the new one, which included the decision that once you get the new one you can't go back. Or something. I m [03:26] ight be remembering wrong since it was a long bug report and I read it a while ago. [03:26] Puhrot: do searches on google for your mobo, video card, and anything else that might cause problems (wireless, etc) [03:26] i'll find the garbage to put at the top, write one, and release it on the internet, maybe sourceforge, thanks all [03:26] iHome: the long and short of it is, old button is dead, long live new button =/ [03:27] So what is the problem with my dns? I don't see the problem, smiley, though I wouldn't even if you put it right in front of me. I don't hear the problem [03:27] rww: i removed the wrong button. so it is gone for good. o my dear. [03:27] I have a weird problem - I disable the "Login" sound in "System > Preferences > Sounds" ... but it still plays!? Any thoughts on debugging?

[03:28] rww: heh, way to rub it in [03:28] cr4z3d: ehhh, i have no clue whatsoever [03:28] ah it's all good i'm sure google has the answer [03:28] cr4z3d: goodgle would be your friend [03:28] cr4z3d: i know theres this one specific site though, for eee hacking [03:29] cr4z3d: like, eeeuser or something [03:29] So what is the problem with my dns?

There are a bunch of people in here who /need/ to use Hardy because Intrepid breaks their hardware, so yeah, not better in some aspects.

Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [03:54] dmata82: je je [03:54] alex_21: find your domain name? [03:54] King_Bob: you need to be more precise. Java and javascript are different things [03:54] I dont know how to go to other channels [03:54] ideally i need someone that understands java [03:54] dmata82: /join #name_of_other_channel [03:54] jrib: I read it by skimming it. [03:54] hi, why does sudo env list only a very minimal set of env variables. why are the contents of /etc/environment not loaded`? [03:54] King_Bob: you want to program in java? [03:54] in ChanServ? [03:55] hey there i am using pidgin and al of the sudden im having trouble connecting to yahoo. can anyone help? [03:55] xorlim: skim? Just read the sections on -s and -i... [03:55] dmata82: the spanish channel is empty most of the time [03:55] jrib: I understood sudo -i have to do with environment variables, it is an "initial login" emulation. [03:55] jrib: yes. [03:55] when i turn off my system it stays at the point of "unmounting temporary filesystems" it take a really long time in there... any ideas why? [03:55] dmata82: or almost empty [03:55] King_Bob: you need a java programer? [03:55] Yes [03:55] Hey, can someone keep an eye out for slinkeey? I was helping earlier, but he had to reboot and isn't back yet and I gotta go. I'm thinking his problem is with compiz... Anyone? [03:55] laterz [03:55] wtf? mkfs.ext4 is included with ubuntu 8.10, but the version of mount included doesn't know how to mount an ext4 filesystem? what gives? [03:55] does anyone knows if I can install VMWare workstation if I have VMW player already installed, and afterwards maybe uninstall one of them in ubuntu 8.10? [03:55] My dns serer on my lan is my router [03:55] xorlim: right. -i will reset environment variables. In general, -i is safer [03:55] Dns Server [03:56] jrib , there is a bug with a site im trying to access , Javascript-Issue [03:56] jrib: "It also initializes the environment, leaving TERM unchanged, setting HOME, SHELL, USER, LOGNAME, and PATH, and unsetting all other environment variables." [03:56] juancabrito: I'd uninstall vmware-player first [03:56] King_Bob: see my first statement to you [03:56] when i turn off my system it stays at the point of "unmounting temporary filesystems" it take a really long time in there... any ideas why?? [03:56] solid_liq: do yuo know if it is necesary? [03:57] hey in certain non-ubuntu OS installations there is a specification of cylinders....can i get more info abt them [03:57] Hey, can someone keep an eye out for slinkeey? I was helping earlier, but he had to reboot and isn't back yet and I gotta go. I'm thinking his video problem is with compiz... Anyone? [03:57] Can anyone give some direction with getting my external monitor to display at 1680x1050? Right now it's maxing out at 1600x1024 for some reason. [03:57] juancabrito: I think there'll be problems if you don't, but I'm not positive (haven't tried in a couple of years) [03:58] i've been reading the server guide documentation on ubuntu [03:58] DarkKnight: it wants to know if you have a v6, v8, v12 or just a little 4-banger in your car [03:58] AcidBurn lolaso [03:58] hey there i am using pidgin and al of the sudden im having trouble connecting to yahoo. can anyone help? [03:58] someone has been watching hackers lol [03:58] solid_liq; i have no idea of wat u said [03:58] the start button consists of a link around a button-map div. This link has got a href = 'javascript:void(0)' and an onClick = 'openMiniMap();'. The onClick-Event MUST return false or in some browsers the href void(0) will be executed doing, well, nothing. [03:58] i think i'm ready to do something radical like switching over from a windows based server to ubuntu server [03:59] DarkKnight: just kidding... you don't *want* to have to work with cylinders directly, normally, but it's about the number of cylinders in your hard drive. [03:59] i'm sick sick sick of windows [03:59] CopyWriter: we love it [03:59] DarkKnight: that used to be something to be dealt with manually, but everything to do with it is automated now, so it's best to let the OS take care of that itself [04:00] jrib , the button was working fine up until what i think was a javascript update [04:00] <__BSD__> CopyWriter: that's what i did, completely wiped out windows and installed Ubuntu almost 2 years ago [04:00] people that use windows are unix [04:00] solid_liq; ya...do u know wer i can get a complete info abt them [04:00] trying to figure out how to set up a domain name server tho [04:00] slinkeey: lets hope you check the logs: I think your problem is with compiz. Try typing "metacity --replace" into a console (or alt-f2) and see if that solves the problems. If not, you can go back to compiz with "compiz --replace" Hope this helps. [04:00] CopyWriter: well then switch... ubuntu might be a good first choice, because it makes it easy to learn... in the long run, I prefer debian stable for my servers tho (check out linux-vserver too for this, it rocks!) [04:00] jrib : is there anyway to downgrade to an earlier version so i can test it out ? [04:00] oh man, I am in terminal and my X is broken now.... [04:00] IS it true what I have heard.....i have head that Ubuntu is the fastest growing OS with the largest no. of people working on it [04:01] DarkKnight: probably on tldp.org [04:01] In grub, if you have to operating systems on two different partitions, do they both have to be marked as bootable? [04:01] DarkKnight: and yeah, that seems to be true [04:01] King_Bob: unfortunately I have no idea what you are talking about. I have to go now though, so I can't help you anyway. night [04:01] exodus_ms: help! *humbly* [04:01] jrib : take care [04:01] <__BSD__> DarkKnight: accoring to distro.com it is the #1 distro [04:01] After_Math: no [04:01] I'm trying the Xubuntu LiveCD. I read that it's bloated tho, as Xfce goes. I also read "you could also do a minimal install of ubuntu and add xfce4. it requires alot of work to get it set up, but it will be lightning fast." Opinions? [04:01] <__BSD__> errr distrowatch.com [04:01] After_Math: actually neither one of them needs to be marked bootable anymore [04:02] solid_liq, ok well they both are, and I am wondering if that is stopping from grub being able to see the second one and put it into the boot menu options [04:02] _BSD_ thanx [04:02] solid_liq, i see [04:02] chriswaterguy: just remember, any OS running off of a live cd is always *much* slower than it would be running off the hdd [04:02] hey i have a quick question if soneone can help, in windows you can compile vb in notepad, what can you compile in ubuntu's text editor [04:02] <__BSD__> you're welcome DarkKnight [04:03] justin_: lol there are lots of text editors for ubuntu/linux [04:03] justin_, anyhting [04:03] justin_, C++, java [04:03] can someone please help, when I login to X it says "couldnt exec /usr/bin/pulse-session [04:03] justin_: and everything has a command line compiler, so anything you want [04:03] <__BSD__> *cough emacs* :) [04:03] I did a apt-get remove pulse-audio [04:03] justin_, ya, i wouldnt say INSIDE the editor, but like solid said [04:03] solid_liq: I don't mind the LiveCD speed - just wondering how it compares with other ways of installing - either the minimal install or a different distro. [04:03] no, vim is much better than emacs [04:04] <__BSD__> ... [04:04] Is there a way to set xorg.conf back to default? [04:04] <__BSD__> Editor wars! [04:04] how do you check to see if a package is installed or not using apt-cache??? [04:04] really? im new to linux and programming, trying to lean how to do it [04:04] chriswaterguy: what kind of computer do you have? (proc/ram) [04:04] hey there i am using pidgin and al of the sudden im having trouble connecting to yahoo. can anyone help? [04:04] mezquitale: apt-cache policy package-name [04:04] so.. I just did a dist-upgrade and once I rebooted, it nuked my wifi card. [04:04] justin_: if you want to do programming, I highly suggest you download the ganymede version of Eclipse, and add the subclipse plugin (for subversion) to it [04:04] mezquitale: dpkg -s packagename === zer0 is now known as Guest63026 [04:05] justin_: that's what I use for C and C++ dev, and I'm happy with it [04:05] so can i save a vb script as a .vb extension like i would in windows? or is there a different way to do it [04:05] i love fluxbbox..what similar thing with that??? [04:05] i love fluxbox..what similar thing with that??? [04:05] i'm on 2.6.27-9-server .. any one know what package I need for the wirless.. stuff.. i guess === Guest63026 is now known as zer0 [04:05] . [04:05] justin_, vb is MS technology , you cant run it in linux [04:05] never mind, I fixed it, I did a apt-get install pulseaudio and it fixed my X [04:05] justin_: we don't have that vb garbage in Linux, sorry, that's microsoft-ONLY ;) [04:05] why would pulseaudio break my X? [04:05] i'm trying to compile conky and run into this error: XDamageQueryExtension in -lXdamage... no. what can i do? === zer0 is now known as Guest89106 [04:06] Does a new Ipod have to be formated on a windows or a mac computer before it can work on linux? [04:06] justin_: you can't use VB on a mac, any unix machine, vms, amiga, etc. etc. [04:06] itai_michaelson: sudo apt-get update &&sudo apt-get install conky ? [04:07] It is urgent as this is a full fledged production server [04:07] It is urgent as this is a full fledged production server [04:07] It is urgent as this is a full fledged production server [04:07] Dark Night, like Opensuse. I know. What are those [04:07] Dark Night, like Opensuse. I know. What are those [04:07] alex_21: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:07] exodus_ms: now my X is back it doesnt play my flash [04:07] ic, so what are some languages that work in linux [04:07] justin_: for os's other than windows, you need to use standardized languages, like C and C++, and ones with good cross-platform support, like java, php, python, perl etc. if you're coming from VB, I suggest Python, you'll most likely like it a lot [04:07] exodus_ms: this is directly relayed to pulseaudio but not sure how to uninstall it and keep it from breaking X when I login.... [04:08] genii, i run into dependency 'lsb' is not installed ...etc etc [04:08] solid_liq: Just saw you asked what computer I have. ThinkPad R60, 1GB RAM. [04:08] thansk BSD and solid_liq, got quite alot of reading to do, want to change over before week ends [04:08] what best ip scanner in ubuntu??xcept nmap/netcat???? [04:08] solid_liq: there's a Python version of Eclipse-Ganymede too (I've heard about it, not used it). it's supposed to be really good [04:09] solid_liq: I tend to run my machines hard tho - bad habits, too many tabs, multiple browsers open [04:09] itai_michaelson: You shouldn't need linux standard base installed to install conky [04:09] chriswaterguy: k, then forget xfce, use Gnome. xfce is for people with OLD computers. Gnome will be plenty fast on that, so just use the normal ubuntu install cd. Gnome takes a wee bit more ram, but it's much more modern [04:09] when i turn off my system it stays at the point of "unmounting temporary filesystems" it take a really long time in there... any ideas why?? [04:09] hello [04:09] genii, its a server +xfce+firefox [04:10] chriswaterguy: me too, and I use gnome. I have 200+ tabs open in firefox right now [04:10] genii, but i also think its strange [04:10] It worked before I commented out eth1, so could my packets be taking an alternate roote? [04:10] i need help with the "clipboard encryption" panel item [04:10] itai_michaelson: either it's a server, or it's running X, not both ;) [04:10] what best ip scanner in ubuntu??xcept nmap/netcat???? [04:10] once i have uncrypted a key, i cannot flush the clipboard to encrypt a new content [04:10] hello [04:10] solid_liq, what i mean is server install +xfce,,,,,, === Guest89106 is now known as zer0 [04:11] NickServ- You have 30 seconds to identify to your nickname before it is changed [04:11] I mean my dns [04:11] how to identify?? [04:11] Guest89106: uh, one I wrote... you should be able to find it in the svn scripts repo on my site, http://solid.linux-coders.org/ [04:11] solid_liq, but i didnt install xubuntu-desktop and all that === zer0 is now known as Guest95157 [04:11] how can I get conky to autoload on startup? [04:11] I am trying to compile an application and it says I'm missing c++ toolchain [04:11] what do I need to install? [04:11] Hi can anyone suggest what to do when a USB flask disk is not detected by the system? [04:11] hey [04:11] itai_michaelson: but if it's running X (which it is if it runs xfce), then it's not a proper server [04:12] quentusrex, build-essential [04:12] Please help, I can't resolve anything [04:12] zer0 : you can see the main irc server tab ( /msg NickServ identify ) [04:12] quentusrex: build-essential and g++ [04:12] rkj: learn to use the 'mount' command [04:12] solid_liq, fair enough....i just think i'm missing some gui pacakges that prevent me from installing amsn, conky and other stuff, they all need lsb [04:12] alex_21: If it's a server-specific issue perhaps try #ubuntu-server [04:13] Whats the name of the web browser for use in the terminal? [04:13] can anyone help? i upgraded to 8.04 (b/c i want to upgrade to 8.10) and now i cant get the machine on the network? [04:13] solid_liq the system doesn't even detect the presence of the device so there is nothing to mount [04:13] itai_michaelson: you're making it into a desktop by installing that... if you really want a desktop on your server, why don't you install another distro (ubuntu desktop) in a virtual machine, and use that instead? [04:13] solid_liq: you're even worse than me. I've been having FF3 crash on me a lot, but suspect it's something to do with being a tar install on an older distro (Mandriva 2008.0) [04:13] i saw few threads online from folks experiencing the same, but nothing panned out [04:13] dnyy: lynx links or w3m [04:14] solid_liq: any difference in the two? [04:14] later guys, thanks for the help [04:14] rkj: have you looked at the end of /var/log/syslog? use dmesg | tail -n 10 or tail -n 10 /var/log/syslog [04:14] and suggestions [04:14] solid_liq, i need a minimal gui environment to use about once a week. i have low specs so i don't want to run a virtual machine [04:14] lynX or something [04:14] itai_michaelson, xubuntu-desktop [04:15] ngabriel4977-> what have you done so far to troubleshoot? [04:15] chriswaterguy: heh, add to that a running Eclipse (takes a lot of ram) and several other running programs ;) [04:15] solid_liq & alex_21: Thanks. :) [04:15] solid_liq: and that's stable? [04:15] If I'm not going Xfce, I'm inclined to stick with Mandriva (2009.0 looks nice). [04:16] i'm having some confusion with my firewall. since i installed 8.10, firestarter hasn't listed any blocked connections, despite me configuring the settings like i used to have them. i've gotten curious if it was actually working or not and it seems like it isn't blocking anything anymore. [04:16] dnyy: you mean the three? yeah, lynx is the oldest, links usually actually runs links2, which is an improved rewrite of lynx, and w3m is the w3c consortium's text browser... I suggest links or w3m [04:16] ok I have figured this out [04:16] Unless someone has a *really* good argument for switching from Mandriva to Ubuntu. :-) [04:16] IdleOne, i'm trying to keep it slim, but if all else fails i'll go for xubuntu-desktop. i was running etc+xfce+thunar+amsn before without resorting to all these extra packages, i'm hoping to achieve the same in ubuntu [04:16] blakkheim-> sudo iptables -vL would list your rules [04:16] looked at /etc/networking/interfaces since the release notes mentioned something about roaming-mode changes, i didnt see anything different. I tried /ifconfig eth2 down, then up, and the dhcpcd (which isnt install appearently). I tried switching to a static ip ,... [04:16] No Problem [04:16] thats about it [04:16] chriswaterguy: yep, it's stable... current uptime is a few minutes under 9 days [04:16] solid_liq, I checked that, and it says "device not accepting address 21, error -110"- what does that mean? [04:16] for me to get flash to work in firefox, I have to issue killall -9 pulseaudio then restart firefox [04:16] IdleOne, i meant etch+xfce... [04:17] chriswaterguy: and my uptime would be longer if I hadn't installed an updated kernel [04:17] n8tuser: i've always had this setup as a static up [04:17] hey guys [04:17] ip [04:17] is anyone familiar with TOR here? [04:17] how do I safely uninstall pulseaudio OR make my system automatically issue the command killall -9 pulseaudio once I login to X? [04:17] chriswaterguy: FF will crash every few days tho, but when it does, at least it restores the old tabs, and you've reclaimed memory that was unneccessarily cached [04:17] ngabriel4977-> paste your ifconfig; iwconfig; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/resolv.conf [04:18] how to use nmap to scan live host with range?? [04:18] not sure how i could do that [04:18] since the machine is not on the network [04:18] !who | ngabriel4977 [04:18] ngabriel4977: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [04:19] :q [04:19] n8tuser: can't paste, perhaps i could save to a file on a flash drive [04:19] n8tuser, i don't know a lot about iptables. could i send you that output and let you have a look? [04:19] chriswaterguy: Ubuntu really is a lot more polished than mandriva, fedora, suse, gentoo, debian, etc. I've used them all, have known my way around linux for 8+ years, and I prefer ubuntu for the desktop, debian for the server, due to the suitability for the tasks they have. === Guest95157 is now known as zer0 [04:19] ngabriel4977-> you have get on that host, and type those commands i mentioned, then copy it to a usb key and post it [04:19] ngabriel4977-> do what it takes for us to see what configs you have [04:19] how to use nmap to scan live host with range?? === zer0 is now known as Guest93592 [04:19] blakkheim-> nope, am not going to do that for you, you have to do the hard work. [04:20] solid_liq: FF3 has been crashing multiple times per day for me. [04:20] n8tuser, i don't know enough about iptables to really understand what is in this file :( [04:20] chriswaterguy: well then it's definitely more stable on ubuntu [04:20] zer0 or guest: try a gui if a cli is too complex, knmap might work [04:20] blakkheim: understand first that it's a script [04:20] blakkheim-> then dont use it if you dont know how, or do a tutorial on iptables or ufw [04:21] Guest93592: my script for that network scanning is called 'scannet' [04:21] where is it?? [04:21] i'm just concerned that my firewall is allowing incoming traffic and i would like to fix that [04:21] Guest93592: I wrote it because nmap's scanning is way too slow when all you want is to see what IP addresses are in use on your LAN. It should pick up every used IP [04:21] solid_liq: this is a tar.bz or whatever on an old Mandriva distro. Don't want to malign Mandriva unfairly :-) [04:21] blakkheim-> here is a good tutorial http://www.linuxexposed.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=107 [04:21] Guest93592: lemme find you a link [04:21] Guest93592: apt-get install knmap [04:21] thanks [04:22] Can someone do me a huge favour and repost my pastebin url for me [04:22] got it [04:22] solid_liq: I had such a nightmare with Xubuntu & Ubuntu last year, I'm apprehensive. But I know it works great for most people. [04:22] <__BSD__> also ZENMAP is a front end to nmap, you might wanna give that a try. [04:22] Guest93592: http://solid.linux-coders.org/code/bash/useful/utility/scannet [04:23] solid_liq, I tried a different usb stick and it works. so any idea what that "error -110" in the log means? [04:23] i have a server but ip seem to be blacklisted. i have another server whose ip is not blacklisted and i was wondering if i can set server A to use server B for all outgoing SMTP ? how is this done? [04:23] chriswaterguy: if you want it to Just Work(TM), get Ubuntu 8.04 not 8.10... 8.04 is an LTS release, which means Long Term Support, which means they spent a lot of time makeing sure it was well polished [04:23] ahhhh [04:23] rkj: the usb stick may be broken... they seem to do that over time (I have a few dead ones too) [04:23] eenteresting. [04:24] solid_liq, the device that's not working is a 16 GB Corsair so I'd really like to get it going! [04:24] ugumtu: this isn't the channel for that question. Try ##linux [04:24] when i click to the link,firefox is not open by..how to change?? [04:24] huhu [04:24] is it possbile to run wine programms on a linux-server without X-Org = [04:24] solid_liq, I also tried the "non-working" one on my XP box and it works (yes, I have an XP box but only because my company makes me) [04:24] ? [04:24] rkj: try plugging it into some other computers to test it. if it doesn't work in them, it's dead. if you don't have them to test, I bet it's still probably dead. exchange it [04:25] what do you think of using the minimal install CD? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD - will that give me a better, faster system? [04:25] solid_liq-> he can ask those questions here [04:25] rkj: hmm, not sure then [04:25] n8tuser: different issue, how can i mount the flash drive as writable? this is fat16 [04:25] n8tuser: i mounted it, but its r/o [04:25] n8tuser: i've had this issue with fat before [04:25] n8tuser: with the traffic in this channel, and the crowd, I doubt he'll get good help on it here. ##linux is more of a server admin channel, this is more of a desktop user channel [04:26] ngabriel4977-> then mount it as r,w [04:26] solid_liq:::how to scan with range?? [04:26] n8tuser, try #ubuntu-server for server help :) [04:26] Guest93592: just run it, with no options, and it'll automatically scan your subnet [04:26] robb_m-> not i [04:26] Guest93592: it's fast too ;) [04:27] n8tuser, oops, sorry, was scanning solid_liq 's messages [04:27] ngabriel4977-> man mount or man fstab [04:27] could anyone tell me how to join a irc:// address in pidgin ?? === BjoernErik is now known as Bjoern-Erik [04:27] Guest93592: the way it works doesn't work if the IP's are on the outside of a router btw, so it's only good for your own LAN [04:27] owh..i can use this when i in my campus right?? [04:28] Guest93592-> and get ready to get reprimanded for doing such if it is againts your school policy [04:28] Guest93592: you should be able to, but only on the segment of the LAN that's behind whatever router you're behind... so you won't be able to dig around other departments' subnets ;) [04:28] n8tuser: it's a very non-intrusive script [04:29] n8tuser: read the short script, and you'll see ;) [04:29] n8tuser: http://solid.linux-coders.org/code/bash/useful/utility/scannet [04:29] solid_liq-> schools are getting very worried, so make sure you school policy allows you [04:29] solid_liq::ouchh..i think it must be hard when my campus use websense"blocked by sebsense" [04:29] Hi, [04:29] solid_liq::ouchh..i think it must be hard when my campus use websense"blocked by websense" [04:29] n8tuser: it's not a hacking tool, as the source shows, so it's no biggie [04:30] i need to get hacking tool to bypass websense in my campus. [04:30] solid_liq-> if it is considered a threat, beware.. [04:30] what u prefer?? [04:30] n8tuser: I wrote it as a quick tool to help me decide what IP addresses were open when adding new server IP's [04:30] I want to make my Login Window look like that on the Mac with login name and password needing to be typed.

I'm a linux noob still [04:41] ngabriel4977_, did you use sudo? [04:42] !help [04:42] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [04:42] Schippstrich: yes [04:42] i just got the ndiswrapper thing and my windows driver for my wireless card, when i type "ndiswrapper -l" in the terminal it says "driver installed" but i still cant see any wireless networks [04:43] for gnome-terminal, to get it to stop asking me whether not I *really* want to close all the tabs, I went into gconf-editor and deselected the proper selection... I opened a terminal(3 tabs), and tested closing it - it still asks me - do I need to restart X or reboot the machine? [04:43] could anyone tell me how to join a irc:// address in pidgin ?? [04:44] wos do you have the correct address? [04:44] ngabriel4977-> do it as root, ie sudo ifconfig and same with the rest [04:44] hola [04:45] CaptainMorgan-> try restarting you gdm [04:45] n8tuser: i ran "sudo ifconfig > /mnt/file.txt" [04:45] n8tuser, using gnome - so you mean X? [04:46] hey i have a problem i cant change my screens resolution also when i activate my nvidia driver the resolution gets even lower is there any fix for this displaymanger says my monitor is unknown? [04:46] CaptainMorgan-> if your desktop manager is gdm, yeah /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:46] nadie me pienza contestar [04:47] ngabriel4977_: that command will take the output of "sudo ifconfig" and redirect it to /mnt/file.txt. The redirection is done with your permissions, not those of root. Issue sudo -i to get a root shell, then do ifconfig > /mnt/file.txt. (There's probably an easier way of doing this, but I don't know it.) [04:47] n8tuser: actually, it's like bash is complaining about the redirection [04:47] n8tuser, will that log me out? [04:47] karllenz-> see what rez you got, xrandr [04:47] CaptainMorgan-> yes [04:47] anyone knows how to recreate the default samba.conf file???

[04:49] sry [04:49] n8tuser: perhaps not. i'm running the command you gave. if you mean to login as root and then run "sudo ifconfig", i'll have to enable the root account (i'm using ubuntu defaults). [04:49] because in 8.04, I can actually control my screen brightness [04:49] mezquitale: [04:49] ngabriel4977-> do whatever it takes [04:50] I read that the alpha version of jaunty jackalope is out... [04:50] ngabriel4977_: as I already said, use sudo -i to get to a root shell, then issue ifconfig > /mnt/file.txt [04:50] KrispyKreme: discussion of Jaunty belongs in #ubuntu+1, not here, thanks.

There's a feature that Microsoft Office Image Editor had that I really need right now. I've googled ad nauseum, but I've found nothing relevant. I want to crop an image to an aspect ratio. For example: I want to take a 4:3 image, and automatically crop it to 16:10. Is this possible with the GIMP? [05:04] [TiZ], definitely [05:05] <[TiZ]> teimu: How do I do it? [05:05] hold on, loading it up now [05:05] ngabriel4977_-> you want the wifi? or eth2? [05:05] [TiZ]: in gimp go to the menu: Image > Scale image [05:05] n8tuser: eth2 [05:06] <[TiZ]> ardchoille: No. I don't want to scale. I want to crop. I want to cut the top and bottom off of a square image so that it will fit a widescreen aspect ratio. [05:06] [TiZ]: in gimp go to the menu: Image > Canvas size [05:06] ngabriel4977_-> try sudo ifdown eth2; sudo ifup eth2 [05:07] ngabriel4977_-> did you get an ip address for eth2? [05:07] n8tuser: no, the dhcp request timed out [05:07] <[TiZ]> ardchoille: Well, that would indeed crop. But there's nothing there to specify the aspect ratio I want to crop to. Am I expected to calculate it myself? [05:07] [TiZ]: you can also use the outline tool to drag an outline, then Edit > Copy to copy just what you've outlined [05:08] can anyone tell me quick the terminal command to unlock a locked directory, loosen the permissions, whatever... chmod or something...? [05:08] you can then paste what you copied into a new image [05:08] ngabriel4977_-> are you sure you have a good cat5 cable for your eth2? [05:08] <[TiZ]> I do not want to drag an outline. You know how gnome backgrounds can do the "zoom" thing? To automatically fit the image to your screen, cutting off whatever doesn't fit? That's what I want the GIMP to do. [05:09] n8tuser: pretty sure. i upgraded from 7.x to 8.04 over the network and then once it rebooted i lost the network [05:09] what is the best irc client for ubuntu? [05:09] i like konversation [05:10] n8tuser: using the same cable that is [05:10] <[TiZ]> jrgp: IMO, xchat. Not xchat-gnome, but xchat. [05:10] ngabriel4977_-> can you elaborate on your network layout? [05:10] i like pidgin [05:10] <__BSD__> xchat or irssi [05:10] WTF! all the sudden, my Mac Ubuntu connection icon doesn't show the normal list of wifi connections, but only has a connection properties box with 2 tabs, general and support, and only 2 options for connectivity, eth0 and l0 [05:10] konversation has the built in fish feature which is great [05:10] What is 'at-spi-registryd-wrapper' for? [05:11] modem->router->router(just a hub really)->eth2 [05:11] [TiZ]: Tools > Transform tools > Crop ? [05:12] n8tuser: sorry: modem->router->router(just a hub really)->eth2 [05:12] <[TiZ]> ardchoille: I've been poking around in that dialog for a while. It still wants me to drag an outline to crop. [05:12] ngabriel4977_-> router to router? how? wan side of one router into the lan side of the 1st router? [05:12] [TiZ]: well, yes, it needs to know what you want to crop/keep [05:13] [TiZ]: that is unless you install lib-mind-reader ;) [05:13] can anyone tell me quick the terminal command to unlock a locked directory, loosen the permissions, whatever... chmod or something...? [05:13] ngabriel4977_-> router to router? how? wan side of one router into the lan side of the 1st router? [05:13] <[TiZ]> ardchoille: I apologize if I'm starting to get rude, but I've said over and over what I want to do. I want the GIMP to cut off parts of an image so that it will fit to a certain aspect ratio. Gnome backgrounds can do this just fine! Why can't the gimp? [05:13] Null-e: do you want everyone to have access to the dir and everything in it? [05:14] Ubuntu on my mac no longer even TRIES to use wifi. this is weird. it has always worked prior to this. now it just tries to connect eth0 [05:14] What is 'at-spi-registryd-wrapper' for? [05:14] so if my laptop won't load past a black screen, no hard drive movement, can't boot from cd or safe mode..What the heck am i going to do? [05:14] n8tuser: not sure on the terminology, but i have the cable modem plugged into the "internet port" on the first router, and then i run another cable from that router into one of the normal (non-internet ports) of the second router, then i just jack eth2 into another non-internet port of the second router [05:15] i just want the lock icon removed from the folder ardchoille [05:15] theres only one user on the machine [05:15] sobby: you may have ram failure [05:15] oh man i didn't know 2 cans of red bull would give me a shake [05:15] Null-e: who owns it and is it in your $home? [05:15] my hands are shaking like crazy [05:15] jdk1976 - suggestions? [05:15] its in my home ardchoille, i dont know who "owns" it... [05:16] <[TiZ]> Null-e: If it's in your home, you can just do "chmod +w dirname". [05:16] im about to rip this basically brand new laptop apart [05:16] <[TiZ]> In a terminal, that is [05:16] sobby: sounds more like a graphics card issue [05:16] n8tuser: i have a bunch of other devices that plug into the second router as well (xbox, pc, ...). All work [05:16] 'sudo updatedb' am i typing this correctly? [05:16] yeah, thats what im thinkin too [05:16] sobby: do you have any other oses on that pc? [05:16] ive read a ton of stuff on graphics cards being a problem with 8.10 [05:16] ngabriel4977_-> you will have problems with your layout, if the 2nd router(even though you're only using the lan side) has dchp also enabled [05:16] sidney: yes, but that command could take a while [05:16] ive got nothing else on it, i formated over the vista crap with ubuntu [05:17] n8tuser: yes, but it does not have hdcp enabled [05:17] ngabriel4977_-> you want static or dchp? i forget [05:17] that unlocked that dir folder [TiZ] but now all the files within it are locked... [05:17] i can't even get a cd to load regardless of what os i put in it === dreamn_up_shroom is now known as dreamnupshrooms [05:17] n8tuser: i use a static ip for this machine (but for other reasons). everything else is hdcp from the first router [05:17] Null-e: chmod -R (means recursive) [05:17] <[TiZ]> Null-e: Oh, okay. Then do ... Yeah, what ardchoille said. "chmod -R +w dirname" [05:18] ngabriel4977_-> i have a hard time picturing tis at the moment, can you kindly draw a picture of this? and put the ip address of each interfaces on the drawing? [05:18] ngabriel4977_-> a picture is worth a thousand words [05:18] have anyone use the 3G modem. when i plug it to my system. i got:cdc_acm: probe of 2-2:1.1 failed with error -22 [05:18] n8tuser: sure [05:18] yo [05:19] how do i adjust volume?

Could someone please take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong? It's at http://pastebin.ca/1273117 [05:19] <[TiZ]> Null-e: Also, if you prefer the GUI way of doing things, you can right click on the folder in nautilus, click properties, then go to the permissions tab, change the permissions how you want them, and then click the button to apply to enclosed files and folders. [05:19] <[TiZ]> Draceee: there should be a volume icon in your panel.

What do you mean, "nope?" [05:21] <[TiZ]> No, wrong. [05:21] yea [05:21] rabiddachshund-> look into udev rules.. see /etc/udev/rules.d/ dir [05:21] so you have sound? [05:21] <[TiZ]> There's a little speaker icon next to your time/date thing. On the top panel. [05:21] <[TiZ]> Unless you accidentally got rid of it [05:21] no way [05:22] oo [05:22] hi there!

'cos I know I said to chmod -R +w [05:26] i'll TRY to solve [05:26] anyone using kde 4 [05:26] it said it couldnt do +w after -R [TiZ] [05:26] it thought +w was the command or something [05:27] <[TiZ]> Null-e: Oh. Well maybe I had the order wrong. In any case, let's just do this the GUI way. Hold on a moment. [05:27] hey folks, can anyone help with the appropriate way to add multiple dns servers to /etc/network/interfaces ? I'm playing with getting an ubuntu server to join an Active Directory domain and need to add the domain controller to dns [05:27] n8tuser: so, the kernel is naming it and I need to write a udev rule to change that because an fstab label won't work? [05:28] 中文的怎么进？ [05:28] I'm seeing a lot of conflicting information out there in the rare event i find something not related to actually HOSTING dns [05:28] <[TiZ]> Okay, Null-e. Open the file browser, go to your folder. Right click, properties. Then go to the permissions tab. Change the file and folder permissions the way you want, and then hit the Apply to Enclosed Files button. [05:28] rabiddachshund-> thats the idea. [05:29] n8tuser: ok, just making sure I'm on the right level. Thanks [05:29] rabiddachshund-> btw, fstab is manually modified, not kernel created [05:29] can someone tell me what the best program in Intrepid is for ipods?

That will allow you to browse your folder... but every file will become executable.

[07:53] found someone with the same bug as me. yay https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/258046 [07:54] hi people [07:54] on another note, anyone see any major issues on 8.10? I delayed upgrade to 8.04 due to reported problems with Synergy (Synergy and Hamachi are required to work for me) [07:54] what do u propose for vps with web server?debian etch, debian lenny or ubuntu 8.04, or 8.10? what is easiery to use for a server?ubuntu offers anything extra for a server? [07:54] arun_, breezy is not supported. arun_ please update to a newer version. [07:54] turburu I'd go with 8.04 for a server since it's a LTS [07:55] would you mind telling me whats installation means in linux?can i run a program here by double clicking an icon? [07:55] turburu though in the past I've worked off debain web servers and never had any issues with them [07:55] arun_, are you a bot ? [07:55] god...my pussy is SO WET [07:55] arun_ yes, some you can [07:55] joe the matter is i already a server with debian etch. i m wondering if i need ubuntu. till now i use ubuntu at deskops only. because i dont have any experience with ubuntu server, can u tell me some advantages of having ubuntu as server instead of debian? [07:55] SteveOHOHOHOH: Please stay on topic === LBSources- is now known as LBSources [07:56] i just need justification support for my wish to move to ubuntu server [07:56] hey all [07:56] ubuntu server more uptodate then debain [07:56] turburu If you're already using debain, are familiar with it and have no issues... I say there's no real gain to switch [07:56] no X [07:56] etc [07:56] I like ubuntu server === anthony_ is now known as anto9us [07:57] can anyone tell me how to set up proxies for individual servers in xchat [07:57] geez. nevermind. it seems even with having a newer gnome-session I still have the bug I linked to earlier [07:57] i see joe. so all the management happens like debian. there is nothing that makes it easier than debian, in server level [07:57] right? [07:57] hi, whenever I watch streaming videos from the browser.. after I fullscreen the video it unmaximizes itself, can anyone tell me how this is happening? [07:57] homecable: yes it is more update, so that means it is not so secure as debian stable? or this argument is wrong? [07:58] turuburu> baicly then same [07:58] but unbuto is uptodate [07:58] use unbuto- server [07:58] turuburu, debian is as secure as ubuntu [07:58] is there something I need to click to report a bug as "needs packaging"? [07:58] so u propose ubuntu server. 8.04 not 8.10 yet, right? [07:58] Linux clayman.ath.cx 2.6.24-22-server #1 SMP Mon Nov 24 19:14:19 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [07:58] :P [07:58] i tried to install java sdk from terminal.actually the download file was a .bin file.so i typed . [07:59] then ./j2sdk-1_4_2_18-linux-i586.bin [07:59] turuburu, 804 (LTS) [07:59] it worked [07:59] defrysk: thanks for making this clear. i had idea that debian etch is rock stable and ubuntu maybe crash or being hacked. probably i had wrong idea [07:59] but javac says command not found [07:59] My friend using Hardy complained that a symlink to ntfs-partition was suddenly broken after login early yesterday UTC. Trying to open the link made Nautilus freeze. Is it possibly related to some recent update or not? [08:00] turuburu, if you are used to debian there is no seripus reason for having to switch [08:00] so the correct decision is to put 8.04 64 bit. it will be stable and updated. and i must not update to 8.10. i must only update when 9.04 is available . right? [08:00] which is the best browser? [08:00] turuburu, you dont have to switch then in another 4.5 years [08:00] firefox [08:01] i've been using network-manager-openvpn perfectly with ubuntu 8.04, when i upgraded to 8.10 my configuration doesnt work, using password with certificates (TLS), which forces me to use user certificate and private key, and i dont need to configure that [08:01] defrysk i m used at ubuntu at home (desktops). at server i have debian. i m thinking if i must switch to ubuntu, if it will be easier to administer, and updated [08:01] is there an app that will let me edit the registry of winblows from ubuntu? I already have a read/write ntfs partition mounted [08:01] do you have any second name? [08:01] WHAT THE F* IS THE PROBLEM WITH GTK THEMES! [08:01] defrysk: i mean what is the next trustworthy server version. since you propose no 8.10, then 9.04? to prefer only LTS versions? [08:01] i keep installing themes that don't install the window borders, what the hell? [08:01] can i install chrome in ubuntu? [08:01] yes and no arun_ [08:02] let me go find the link for the beta [08:02] arun_: 5.10 is not supported [08:02] arun_: do you understand that [08:02] turuburu, I would go in serverworld ponly for lts versions [08:02] yes [08:02] i understood [08:02] arun_: so please stop asking us to support it [08:02] ok.sorry [08:02] (8.04 random hard locks requiring reset button) ok, I've gone through all the logs... and I cannot find a single thing that looks out of place... are there some logs that aren't on the System Log Viewer where I might be able to find the cause for these random hard locks? [08:02] Hey there, there is a log viewing program I have a memory of in either Ubuntu or Debian that showed power consumption history. Do you guys know where/what is that? [08:02] defrysk what this means? [08:02] lts = long term support [08:03] no i means what serverworld ponly [08:03] !lts | turuburu [08:03] turuburu: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [08:03] arun_ http://www.codeweavers.com/services/ports/chromium/ [08:03] i know what is lts ;) [08:04] turuburu, i ments for servers its best to use lts, lts versions of ubuntu are more geared to stability [08:04] I upgraded to 8.10 and now my fgl dual screen setup ceased working. After switching to the failsafe xconf I accidentally changed my (user) resolution and now I can't change it anymore because I get a garbled mess on the screen. How do I reset my user settings for resolution to system default? [08:04] is there a registry editor for an ntfs partition on linux? [08:04] i see. thanks defrysk! :) [08:05] fridyrls: you should be able to do that within wine [08:05] how do i change the icons kde apps use... under gnome? [08:06] ok thanks [08:06] So two questions really: 1) how do I reset my user resolution in GNOME and 2) how do I get my ATI card to use a dual screen set-up in 8.10 (fgl seems to have vanished)? [08:06] does anyone out there use gnome-look?????????????????/ [08:06] or install gtk themes [08:07] bdelin88: yes [08:07] bdelin88: one questionmark suffices, thank you. [08:07] Hey there, there is a log viewing program I have a memory of in either Ubuntu or Debian that showed power consumption history. Do you guys know where/what is that? [08:07] ok why do i keep getting retarded messages about my gtk theme not being installed, and why are some of these themes installing without window borders? [08:07] bdelin88, me!!!! [08:07] What could be reason for a symlink to ntfs-partition to broke, although the ntfs-partition is in fstab and has worked before? [08:07] spartanii117: how do you "sync" wine with a real partition?\ [08:07] i download the entire tar and then i drop it into "appearance" and some work, some don't [08:07] bdelin88: try reading those messag they are not "retarded" [08:08] i am reading them [08:08] bdelin88: it depends how they are packaged up if they work that way or not [08:08] nvm I will just use google [08:08] it says i need the gtk theme and engine, and i have both [08:08] fridyrls:http://www.soft411.com/company/MiTeC/MiTeC-Windows-Registry-File-Viewer.htm [08:08] thanks :) [08:08] well if they don't work that way, the author should say so in their post, should they not? [08:08] bdelin88, sometimes you MUST have the proper theme engine to make the theme work [08:08] anyone know of a server that logs system status (cpu usage, network usage, temps, etc) and saves to HD regurally that I could use to see if my crashes might be related to hardware in some way (even though all hardware tests says it's all good) [08:09] fridyrls: in your grouve found what you'er looking for [08:09] yes i understand that and i have trolled the net trying to find out ANYTHING about that, and I can't find a damn thing, nor does the author specify the theme engine necessary [08:09] bdelin88: we do not make gnome-look - speak to the authors, there is sometimes are README's in the the tar files [08:09] I also am pulling up themes listed under "GTK 2.x" which is what I thought was native to ubuntu [08:09] thanks :). Will it let me edit the registry even though it is called windows registry file VIEWER? [08:09] How can I change/reset my user account's settings for the screen resolution from the command line? [08:09] so shouldn't that suffice as the theme engine, GTK+2.0? [08:10] bdelin88: as I said, it depends on how they are packaged [08:10] bdelin88, no. theme engines are like murrine, clearlooks, aurora etc [08:10] fridyrls: I have no idea never used it, but was recommended on forums [08:10] pff [08:10] alright, thanks [08:10] bdelin88, show me the theme to tell you the engine [08:10] 1 sec [08:10] bdelin88: this is documented on gnome-look.org and also in the README's of the theme [08:11] is there a package for realplayer in the repos? [08:11] bdelin88, and please highlight me when you refer to me. i have a mess of windows here to manage [08:11] pluma: the screen resolution is a system wide variable, look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf for the setting [08:11] i know it is just very irritating the amount of inconsistency in file packaging [08:11] Anyone? I've wasted two hours already on this tiny issue? There's got to be a way to fix it from the commandline. [08:11] Hi! I got a problem reading a video DVD (original) with totem and any dvd player i tried... I even cant backup it on my computer... Totem just load and exits without saying anything.... what can be the trouble [08:11] here: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Orange+door+hinge?content=77212 [08:11] racarter: realplayer is not open source, and thus not in the repos [08:11] sry, how do i highlight you, what is the command [08:11] bdelin88, wait a sec [08:12] bdelin88: just ssay his name [08:12] bdelin88, you put my name somewhere in the sentence [08:12] racarter: mplayer does a lot of the same stuff if I rem rightly.. [08:12] i am new to irc, and i appreciate everyone's help and patience :) [08:12] pluma: sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:12] bdelin88: type the first few letters of their nick and hit the tab key [08:12] jim_p: alright thanks, easy enough [08:12] jimlol [08:12] bdelin88, btw this is a gtk theme and an EMERALD window theme. not gnomes metacity [08:13] frybye, thanks just curious if there is a package for realplayer though [08:13] Why wont my sound work? Worked fine yesterday.... just upgraded to 8.10 btw... [08:13] gnome is gtk based i thought? [08:13] also, i'm using 64bit version of ubuntu.. not sure if that's a problem too [08:13] inyourgroove: That's not the user settings, that's the system wide settings. They're fine. It only turns my screen into minced meat when I log in. [08:13] what is the package for advanced ui features? [08:13] can anyone help me locating pixma ip 1200 [08:13] bdelin88, yes, but you can put other window managers to work with gnome too [08:13] ppd [08:13] file [08:14] Hello, I'm trying to boot from a USB stick I set up using the tool in 8.10, but I am getting "operating system not found". That's about all the information I have--any idea what's going on? [08:14] racarter: cant be cos the code is proprietary - the owners dont want it that way.. etc.. [08:14] jim_p: GTK is the main theme though? Shouldn't this work just fine? [08:14] ok [08:14] u got ur system to boot from USB first [08:14] damijit: that stick is not valid, or it's not booting from it, what tool did you use [08:14] not hard drive [08:14] :P [08:14] what's the package for advanced effects? [08:14] racarter: yes, it's called realplayer; sudo apt-get install realplayer [08:14] realplayer doesn't seem to be availale for 64bit.. [08:14] pluma: try removing the settings in you home folder [08:14] unless i am mistaken? [08:15] i see know read me files here either [08:15] bdelin88, can i pm you to explain why? [08:15] no* [08:15] spartanii117: really? that is new too me...! [08:15] racarter: compizconfig-settings-manager [08:15] inyourgroove: _where_ in my home folder? I don't want to delete all of .gconf and the lot. [08:15] yes please do :) [08:15] ikonia: it's the "Make USB Startup Disc" tool that comes with Ubuntu 8.10 (under System > Administration) [08:15] thanks [08:15] someone have a few minutes to help me try and debug, seemingly, random hard locks in 8.04 (also was present in 7.10). I have theories but logs do not seem to support them [08:16] pluma: i have no idea where exactly it could be, it was just a potential solution [08:16] frybye: i thought as you did, but he kept insisting, so i pulled up a terminal and checked [08:16] Before writing a ntfs-partition to fstab, it was tried to be mounted by clicking its icon > properties > Volume > Settings, where mountpoint, filesystem and mount options were copied from above. It only resulted in breaking the manual mount and the whole access to that partition. What went wrong? [08:16] guys whats the difference between intrepid and hardy [08:16] Hi! I got a problem reading a video DVD (original) with totem and any dvd player i tried... I even cant backup it on my computer... Totem just load and exits without saying anything.... what can be the trouble [08:16] is there any way to play mp3 [08:16] spartanii117: you got medibuntu sources installed or similar? [08:17] arun_ play an mp3 in what? [08:17] arun_: I answered you for that already [08:17] ubuntu [08:17] tv, intrepid has newer versions of the software that ubuntu packages. [08:17] sonoblaise: you need libdvdcss [08:17] inyourgroove: Do you see my problem? I've spent two hours trying to find the damn file and I still haven't a clue. I don't have KDE, so I can't check whether the resolution is shared (i.e. not GNOME-related), but I would guess it's more related to X than to GNOME. [08:17] arun_ double click on it, should open up whatever default player you have [08:17] inyourgroove: thanks! [08:17] Anyone know a fix for not getting any Youtube sound? I get regular sound just fine.... But nothing off of youtube will have sound [08:17] sonoblaise: it is not in the default repo [08:17] djolefol: did ypu mount that ntfs partiotion using /dev/sd? or /dev/disk/by-uuid/ link. if you use /dev/sda or similiar link it can change between boots [08:18] frybye: no, just ubuntu partner [08:18] Does anyone know how I can reset my *user* settings for the resolution or screen size? Or where that config is found? [08:18] I've got the errors on http://rafb.net/p/WV6Tep19.html and my question is, can I get my sound to work without rebooting? [08:18] sonoblaise: it is considered illegal in the states [08:18] spartanii117: wow - i c - what was with the 64bit ? [08:18] frybye: no [08:19] spartanii117: that is no - with no work-around - right? [08:19] simplexio: by uui [08:19] hi, anyone here using RT61 Wi-Fi card? [08:20] pluma: you should make a new user and see if it happens for it as well [08:20] * pluma groans [08:20] i tried connecting ubuntu to projector without success [08:20] any assistance [08:20] I give up. Apparently I'll have to waste the REST of this morning as well rather than find an EASY solution. [08:21] i was a windows user.there if you need to install a software you have executable files with extension .exe.but in linux to install various softwares there are various methods.why? [08:21] arun_: why if flying a jet fighter different than driving a VW!? [08:21] can anyone help me to setup evolution to acess my yahoo account ? [08:22] Dabbu: afaik, you need to pay Yahoo for pop3 access to do that [08:23] Dabbu: there is pleanty of help info at yahoo.com telling you the settings for a pop3 account etc... [08:23] ardchoille: no other software can do that ? [08:23] hi people [08:23] anyone can explainme how to replace: [08:23] for read the model of graphic card? [08:23] ardchoille: I have access to my yahoo.de account without paying them.. perhaps it is different with yahoo.com?? [08:24] frybye: Perhaps it is different, or I could be wrong. I'm just using information that I researched and found. [08:24] arun_: usually you try first install stuff from distro repos, after that you try to find pre packakges to your system (which are all ,deb) if those fails you go to source , compile and install it. so you have .deb packages or zip/tar/gz etc files which you use [08:24] frybye: i followed one but didnt work for me [08:24] am using lenovo t61 with ubuntu 8.04 and unable to connect to a projector. any assistance? [08:24] in kde 3.5 i could change the icons for .avi files by going to propertys now in 4.0 it dont let me anyone know how to ? [08:24] frybye: i followed one but didnt work for me [08:25] arun_: but in windows you have .exe .msi .zip/tar/... [08:25] Dabbu: I seem to remember reading someplace that it (sometimes-) has to be paid for.. perhaps actually depends where you are...? [08:26] frybye: i m in india.....so i have to pay or what [08:26] when i try to install a .deb package from terminal it says installation successful.but how can i run the software?from where can i find the file to execute it? [08:26] The manual mount access to ntfs-partition was regenerated by using Nautilus as root. Trying to mount as user resulted only to some forgotten error message. After that the partition was written to fstab and automount has worked many days until yesterday. Could these be related together? [08:27] Dabbu: not at all shure - you will have to read the local yahoo help stuff on this theme I guess... [08:27] damn firefox keeps freezing all the time :( [08:27] frybye: ok then....i'll try now [08:28] i have heard linux is more efficient compared to windows.why is it so? [08:29] depends what at, too vague a statement [08:29] out of the box linux is alot more stable and secure compared to windows [08:29] yes, I would like to know too [08:29] :) [08:29] arun_: because it was built better [08:29] being based on unix [08:29] linux makes a very nice OS [08:29] :) [08:29] l43a2, for example? [08:29] Windows is based on crap code half of which is from 1995 [08:29] :| [08:29] arun_: a wider group of people get a chance to work on and improve it... [08:29] ^^^ [08:30] and yea its open source [08:30] in the technical way is there any advantage? [08:30] Does anyone have any Ideas on why i am not getting sound in YouTube.. .ECT.. ???? [08:31] Linux is multi user [08:31] some architectural decisions in how a typical linux system is built, everything from what parts of the systems are run from the kernel and which are not make it more robust [08:31] windows isnt [08:31] l43a2: windows nt is multi user [08:31] yea [08:31] all linux is mutli user :P [08:31] and that's all the windows there is these days [08:31] it seems that the most of unstable source are from hardware drivers [08:31] l43a2: eh.. this is not really support stuff though.. for a general discussion re: linux - the offtopic # might be better... [08:31] Hi [08:32] :| [08:32] Can anyone tell me the name of channel where I can ask questions about hardware? [08:32] i heard that linux doesnt get infected by viruses.Is that right? [08:33] arun_: it gets if it's a linux virus using some exploit in linux code [08:33] arun_: http://ardchoille.nfshost.com/Linux/LinuxViruses [08:33] arun_: but there are relatively few of those [08:33] ok... I installed libdvdcss, but totem dont seem to get it... do i have to reboot?? [08:33] who fund vrious in linxi [08:33] There is also a strange "gvfs" partition seen in gnome-system-manager. Is this information relevant? ...and what it is? [08:33] quick question: where can I view Hardware info/system information in intrepid? [08:33] arun_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware [08:34] srx2002: install and run package hwinfo [08:34] who fund vripus in linux [08:34] who fund vrious in linux [08:34] djolefol, that's normal, it's a gnome filesystem abstraction layer thing [08:34] srx2002: install the device manager.. go in add/remove software and look for Device Manager in system tools [08:34] ubuntu_: please open and read the above links given to arun_ [08:34] !hardware [08:34] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [08:35] !hardware channel [08:35] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:35] How can I change my *user level* resolution settings in GNOME via the command line? What I know: xconf is irrelevant, ~/.gnome, .gnome2 and .gconf are also irrelevant. [08:35] Hi, I run an Ubuntu mirror at a college with only binaries, and I'd like to mirror sources now as well. [08:35] pluma : what do you want to do? [08:35] dist=gutsy,gutsy-updates,gutsy-security,gutsy-proposed,gutsy-backports,hardy,hardy-backports,hardy-proposed,hardy-security,hardy-updates,intrepid,intrepid-proposed,intrepid-backports,intrepid-security,intrepid-updates,jaunty [08:35] I mirror all those sections though. [08:36] How can I tell how much data all the sources for all these sections will take BEFORE I download them? [08:36] sonoblaise: fix my settings so I can log in [08:36] I cant even find add remove hardware [08:36] randomwalker: Could you tell are my above mentioned problems somehow be related to this .gvfs which my friend has I don't? [08:36] when i am downloading something using firefox it shows more than 256KB/s(which is my connection's maximum)..sometimes 800KB/s.it is never like that in windows.why? [08:36] pluma, no pretty sure, but 'xrandx' can do that [08:36] Is Nvidia's Ultra card is more powerful or a GTX card? [08:36] pluma: Mmm.. you can log as the root and modify your user account... [08:36] i wonder how many of those 800 pieces of malware wikipedia claims there are for linux are just variations of the obfuscated rm -rf / [08:37] sonoblaise: the problem is still the same: I can not log in because it puts my screen in a blender. Other users work, /etc/X11 seems irrelevant, ~/.gnome, .gnome2 and .gconf are also ignored [08:37] or rather, irrelevant to the issue [08:37] djolefol, i just wandered in here, what's the problem again? [08:38] pluma: sorry I can't help... i'm pretty new with linux and not the answer king yet ;) I guess I was lucky with my hardware config [08:38] sonoblaise: I know, but I don't want to delete the home folder as ultima rasa, so I have no idea where to look [08:38] I dont see add remove hardware anywhere [08:38] srx2002: in the application menu, go to add/remove software and install the Device Manager [08:39] mmaybe it can help [08:39] srx2002: but perhaps you don't need it (the hardware manager). what do you need to do? [08:39] actually how is this chat configured?who are those people answering?its pretty much useful. [08:39] inyourgroove: I installed the packages you told me, but totem dont seem to be able to load DVD anyway [08:40] pluma, xrandr --output --mode 1280x1024 [08:40] randomwalker: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79193/ [08:40] I've got the errors on http://rafb.net/p/WV6Tep19.html and my question is, can I get my sound to work without rebooting? [08:40] problemmaker: are you sure this is how you change the USER settings? [08:40] sonoblaise: he's looking online [08:41] problemmaker: Also what would be then? [08:41] apecat: I just want to view info about cpu, memory, vid card, sound, etc... [08:41] pluma, ...not really get 'user' you mean [08:41] arun_: we're just random people on irc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat [08:41] spartanii117: euh.. thanks! how do you know what he's doing btw? [08:41] srx2002: ok, then you may want the hardware manager [08:41] sonoblaise: in terminal type "sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugin*" [08:41] what is the differencebetween linux and unix?

(no i am not paranoid at all ;´) [09:42] ActionParsnip: I found this page > http://www.savvyadmin.com/ubuntus-ufw/ \o/ [09:43] lat: you'll need this on the central ubuntu box: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router [09:43] someone have a few minutes to help me try and debug, seemingly, random hard locks in 8.04 (also was present in 7.10). I have theories but logs do not seem to support them [09:43] lat: why not make life easier and attatch the switch to a port on the wireless router [09:44] lat: then you dont have a complex setup at all === tom___ is now known as shoot^ [09:44] Hullo. I'm about to install Ubuntu on a fresh 400Gb SATA drive. Could someone please explain what the optimal partition setup would be, particuarly with respect to where to put /, /boot, home and so on? [09:45] Mark: depends what the system is for [09:45] ActionParsnip : Desktop usage, and I'll probably use Gimp a fair bit so I'd like that to run as well as possible. [09:46] hello, there was a fancy package I forgot it's name, it adds an application bar with lightening icons [09:46] ActionParsnip, ok. Is there a good web page for doing that simpler setup? [09:46] Mark: so few apps but lots of user data sounds good to me [09:46] I would suggest that you put /home on a different partition incase you might want to reinstall operating system in the near future [09:47] lat: no need, just attatch a port on the switch to a lan port on the router and it will give you the ports, the routers dhcp will spread to all clients [09:47] simplexio: what do I do with this file? /etc/networks/interfaces [09:47] hey guys. Having some issues with Ubuntu Server, namely system crashes. The system just halts random - sometimes after hours, sometimes after days.... never when I'm using it. /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages don't seem to have any clues - nothing unusual is logged - they just stop printing - Mark - around the time of the crash, and log the boot procedure of the reboot. It happened on Hardy, so I tried an upgrade to Ibex, but still no joy. Any troubl [09:47] ActionParsnip : - I'm a terrible one for trying stuff out though, so it's possible I'd add various apps. I wonder if I should prepare a second instalation just to mess about in? [09:47] lat: only mildly taxing bit is sharing the printer [09:47] simplexio: ...to setup fixed IP [09:47] mark, i have a 500GB sata hd and i partitioned it 20gig / , 2gig swap, rest for /home , works well [09:47] shingie: `That sounds like a good suggestion, I'll keep it in mind, thanks. [09:47] i installed ubuntu from vista, and uninstalled it. then i install it again today. now when i start my computer, there is boot to Windows, and two Xubuntu options....i tried both of them, and it only shows a command shell, and nothing else will load....windows still works :( [09:47] Mark: then give yourself slightly more space for / and less for /home (use seperate partition for /home makes backup easier) [09:47] hmm ... is there any "need to have" programs ? =P ... tried gDesklets, screenlets and google apps out, but now i need to get something else =P [09:48] Syrre: tilda is good [09:48] ActionParsnip, thanks. I'll try and see what happens. [09:48] sloopy: I see. I'm partly thinking of keeping some of the drive for NTFS storage [09:48] can somebody tell text editor supporting socket API? help [09:48] i installed ubuntu from vista, and uninstalled it. then i install it again today. now when i start my computer, there is boot to Windows, and two Xubuntu options....i tried both of them, and it only shows a command shell, and nothing else will load....windows still works :( [09:48] i installed ubuntu from vista, and uninstalled it. then i install it again today. now when i start my computer, there is boot to Windows, and two Xubuntu options....i tried both of them, and it only shows a command shell, and nothing else will load....windows still works :( [09:48] i installed ubuntu from vista, and uninstalled it. then i install it again today. now when i start my computer, there is boot to Windows, and two Xubuntu options....i tried both of them, and it only shows a command shell, and nothing else will load....windows still works :( [09:48] thx ActionParsnip ... iĺl look into it [09:48] yaris123456789: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:49] yaris123456789: check your grub config [09:49] how [09:49] yaris123456789: does startx do anything? [09:49] Mark, i use virtual box for windows xp, works well [09:49] no [09:49] nothing [09:49] ActionParsnip : So when you say more or less space, what kind of figures are we talking about? 2 gigs as opposed to 50 gigs or what? [09:49] yaris123456789: and DONT repeat youorself with large bodies of text. Its THE BEST way to get banned [09:49] it just shows Start Windows Vista, Xubuntu, Xubuntu [09:49] sloopy : *notes* I'll have to look into that. [09:49] ActionParsnip: sry [09:50] ActionParsnip: but im kinda in a hurry [09:50] Hello again. Can anybody help me with the following problem: I have installed Ubuntu on my ASUS L4500R laptop. I have kept my old windows XP system on another partition as well. Selection of operating system is done with the default method ("GRUB"?). When "arriving" at GRUB from a restart of either windows XP or ubuntu, I can select and start the 2.6.24-22-generic Ubuntu without problems.... [09:50] ...However, when starting "cold" (from a turned off computer) it hangs forever at "Starting up...". When removing splash screen and quiet options I can see that the last printout is "ACPI: Using PIC for interrupt routing". Any suggestions? [09:50] Mark: I'd say 50Gb for /, double your ram amount for /swp and the rest for home [09:50] so should i install xubuntu again ? such a pain [09:50] ActionParsnip: got any more nice little programs that "i" just gotta have ? [09:50] yaris123456789: no, does startx do anything in the prompt after you log in as yourself? [09:50] Syrre: depends what you do on your pc [09:51] that command is not available [09:51] i can't login because it never asks [09:51] mark, also there are fs drivers for windows to access ext2 partitions so using the /home for space in windows is a possibility [09:51] ActionParsnip: ok, so 50Gb for/, 4Gb swp, 100 gigs for /home ... what about /boot ? [09:51] yaris123456789: try /etc/init.d/gdm start [09:51] Mark: boot can hangout on / [09:51] ActionParsnip: donno i think something wrong with installation [09:51] ActionParsnip: right you are. Ok, thanks for that! :) [09:51] yaris123456789: well you need to try stuff first [09:51] ActionParsnip: kinda weird there is 2 bootable xubuntu menus on start [09:52] ActionParsnip: well ... uhm ... a little bit of this, and a little bit of that ... i cant be more precise .... hehe [09:52] ActionParsnip: also when i go into menu, all the words are jumbled up into weird symbols [09:52] guys, what packages could be used to get a user impressed to use ubuntu [09:52] yaris123456789: then sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.list to see whats going on [09:52] sloopy : oo, interesting. [09:52] how big is ubuntu straight after install from livecd? [09:52] vecam: compiz wows the fools quite easily [09:53] NewNew: about 2gb [09:53] anyone tried intrepid? [09:53] ActionParsnip: thanks [09:53] 3G [09:53] Rajit: yeah [09:53] I am running Intrepid [09:53] hows it? [09:53] Rajit: works ok here [09:53] ActionParsnip : 50 gigs for / sounds a bit massive to me. Surely I could get away with a lot less? [09:53] vecam, run it on a P3 1Ghz cpu with 512mg of ram and show how it runs about as fast as a P4 2.8Ghz with vista [09:53] Rajit: no problems [09:53] Rajit: but my hardware is very linux friendly :) [09:54] Mark: then use less [09:54] ActionParsnip: Or would it appreciate that much space for tmp stuff. Ah ok, Will do. [09:54] Mark: mines 10Gb but i chat and browse the web [09:54] Hokay, cheers peeps. I'll go get on with it. [09:54] ActionParsnip: tilda was actually pretty nice, dropdown terminals is allways "nifty" =P [09:54] ActionParsnip: I see. Right oh. [09:54] Mark: you'd probably get away with 30Gb without issue [09:55] Syrre: yeah, beats having to hunt for terminal amongst your windows, the kde equiv is yakuake [09:56] Mark, on my machine i have both gnome and kde installed with alot of other stuff (i use gnome, mrs uses kde) and my 20gig / is only 30% filled [09:56] he's gone [09:56] ActionParsnip, oh well... the days of cheap disk are here... so it isnt a big deal [09:56] sloopy: true [09:57] Syrre: what do you use your system for to what must have apps you should get [09:57] ActionParsnip: do you happen to know if there is any proggys similar to the desklets and screenlets ? ... been looking for ages, but i cant seem to find one that "sticks" ... or perhaps something i or anyone for that matter cant live without =P [09:57] lets see [09:57] i bought 2 500GB sata drives last spring, on still sits around waiting to be used [09:57] s/on still/one still/ [09:57] Syrre: you can make screenlets reappear by adding a script to run the python code for each screenlet you want [09:57] anyone suffering from ATI+compiz problems? [09:58] what's the difference in interfaces setup between "address" and "network" and what is "broadcast" - windows has no such options [09:58] nimbus, no, sold my soul to the devil and got an nvidia card... [09:58] That is what I should have done. [09:58] benoka: address is your ip address, network is the address of the network and broadcast is the broadcast address [09:58] But nooooo they said "ATI WORKS BETTAR WITH AMd!!!" [09:58] So I went along with it [09:59] i accidentally cat'ed one of my executables. now my terminal is screwed up. anybody know how i can fix it? [09:59] benoka, windows has it just hides it... [09:59] benoka: e.g. 192.168.0.1/24 is address 192.168.0.1 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 [09:59] coldhak, type ´clear´ and return [09:59] How do I go back from proprietary nvidia drivers to the inbuilt X 'nv' drivers? [09:59] now I have to turn off compiz to watch a movie or play a game. [10:00] nimbus: compiz is good at breaking stuff [10:00] If I don't, the movies flicker and the game crashes the interval of time the screensaver comes on. [10:00] sloopy, nice, but usually users got impress on graphical animation and effects, I can't remember that package name to that creates a taskbar with dancy icons [10:00] yes I am now experiencing that! [10:00] ActionParsnip: mostly converting videos and/or burning some dvd:s .... running tovid GUI now since brasero don't want to "play" with me ... hmmmm ... some surfing and some games .... doing different things each day ^^ ... ah, yup the screenlets reappearing thingy, i got that one figured out, but thx anyways m8 =P [10:00] I am a recent Windows convert. [10:00] Syrre: devede is pretty decent [10:00] !info devede [10:00] devede (source: devede): program to create video DVDs. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.11-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 1462 kB, installed size 3340 kB [10:00] whats the -? for rysnc for copying only new/different files? [10:01] sloopy: the prompt is messed up. [10:01] -u ? [10:01] that doesn't fix it. === maek is now known as Guest80145 [10:01] when i type it's screwed up too. nothing displays properly [10:01] vecam, yeah i am more impressed by a result coming fast then a result with sugar on it... i left mac os because of the visual sugar (cant take it i am diabetic ;´) [10:01] what other command i can use beside apt-get clean to free some space in the hard drive? [10:01] ActionParsnip: really ? ... installed it the other day, but i havnt tried it out yet === Guest80145 is now known as maek0 [10:01] I figure linux is a temperamental exotic car and windows is a camry. [10:01] hi all [10:01] coldhak, you typed the chars ´clear´ and then hit return? [10:01] Syrre: its what i use, otherwise i cant suggest anything...snow plugin for compiz is festive ;) [10:02] I expect to have more exiting computer quirks in my life from now on. [10:02] sloopy, i'm a linux newb, not an idiot. yes. [10:02] i have three mounted internal hard drives, i want to format them, whats the best way to do this? [10:02] coldhak, doesnt matter how the machine displays it [10:02] i typed "clear\n" [10:02] ActionParsnip: haha, gotta try that one, gotten bored with the "water" effect [10:02] schone: depends on your linux level..... id go for gparted [10:02] schone: mk2fs -J /dev/ [10:02] problem isn't fixed. i tried clearing first. [10:02] k cool after [10:02] schone: this will destroy all data on the partition so make sure you get the right one [10:02] coldhak, err sorry try ´reset´ [10:03] perfect, that did it :) [10:03] sloopy, hehe, personally, I like xfce because of the lack of effects, but low end users do like animation, after beryl project, 70% of my users started migration to ubuntu [10:04] * werdnum is busily removing nvidia drivers because he doesn't need the effects, but does need to be able to suspend to RAM. [10:04] coldhak, sry some days i still live in the days of SunOS ;´) [10:04] ActionParsnip: sloopy: suppose I have a router of 192.168.1.1 and I want to set address to :192.168.1.2 where I know Broadcast is 192.168.1.255 and Mask 255.255.255.0 - but what is network? [10:04] wouldn't removing nvidia drivers make your life hard? [10:04] I yanked the ATi drivers for a time and I got the "green screen" [10:04] benoka: 192.168.1.0 [10:05] benoka: you dont really have to put them in the interfaces file, the subnet mask allows the system to work it out [10:05] hoha .. guys what is the name of this package http://www.silverwingsonline.com/ubuntu1.jpg [10:05] nimbus: Worked fine before them, just need them for effects. [10:05] really? what do you gain by removing them? [10:06] benoka, network is 192.168.1.0/16 [10:06] sloopy: 255.255.255.0 is a class c so its /24 [10:07] ActionParsnip, yeah i need to pay attention, i am at work... [10:07] vecam, might be the cairodock [10:07] hehe me too ;) [10:07] i cant see conky when i run it with this config: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79229/ does anyone know why? [10:07] Hello , does it possible to extract tar file without the folders path ? (all the files will be extract to 1 folder ) i try'ed to look at the "man tar" but i cant find it [10:08] well my replacement is here so time to put laptop away... [10:08] tnite all [10:08] nimbus, thank you .. I can't remember it's name, but the name cairodock seems strange a bit [10:08] ActionParsnip: sloopy: thank you guys, will try this!! [10:08] I might be wrong. [10:08] nimbus, is it apt-able ? [10:09] hello all [10:09] i just delted windows [10:09] yay === heizkostenabrech is now known as nvbd [10:09] how come my conkey doesnt show? [10:09] nbeebo: do you have a ~/.conkyrc file? [10:09] but there is an unalcated partion [10:09] how do i join it to ubuntu>? [10:09] not sure, vecam. might have to research that. [10:10] actionparsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79229/ [10:10] nimbus, yes it is cariodock, but I'm sure there is another one or another name [10:10] nimbus, thank you very much [10:10] you're welcome [10:10] nbeebo: is that your ~/.conkyrc ? [10:10] actionparsnip: yes [10:11] nbeebo: ok, what happens if you run conky from terminal? [10:11] actionparsnip: ill try [10:12] actionparsnip: Conky: use_spacer should have an argument of left, right, or none. 'no' seems to be some form of 'false', so defaulting to none. [10:12] actionparsnip: guess ill fix it then [10:12] nbeebo: sounds like you got a plan :) [10:12] I installed 8.10 and now my video and audio is broken. Apparently the sound card is not recognised (standard on-board) and the graphics card could not be detected (last-gen ATI Radeon) [10:12] actionparsnip, lol thanks btw [10:12] nbeebo: running stiuff from terminal gives intelligent output. Gui hides all the good stuff [10:12] nbeebo: its one reason i dont use gui rubbish [10:12] It worked fine since Dapper Drake and that was what? Six generations ago? [10:13] hi all got a question for you [10:13] actionparsnip, yeah i know that but ive got brain damage...

[10:33] is this the place to ask about redundanc [10:33] sajuuk: lspci | grep -i vga [10:34] !info redundanc [10:34] Package redundanc does not exist in intrepid [10:34] !redundanc [10:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about redundanc [10:34] sajuuk you don't have an nvidia chipset on your intel card [10:34] I have set up a raid 5 using server 8.04 and it works without any problem. And indeed I did an upgrade to 8.10 and it still works. I was only wondering why I dond't see any drive when doing a clean install using 8.10 [10:34] FebruariusX: what is it? [10:34] ActionParsnip: not sure what yo mean by 'start directory of the particular user'? [10:35] does an intel 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device do multiheading? [10:35] sajuuk graphics cards are not cpu [10:35] j0nr: you set the root directory of the user for ftp, so if user 'bill' logs in, his ftp start directory is /home/bill but if 'andy' logs in his start directoy is /home/andy/ftpstart [10:35] sajuuk: I think your trolling now with your questions, please stop [10:35] im not and I dont wish to troll [10:35] j0nr: you can choose what folder the first ls is started from, they can dig deeper but go no higher of where you specify [10:36] multiheading= dual screen [10:36] sajuuk: so stop asking silly questions, and stop asking questions that are nothing to do with ubuntu [10:36] good day [10:36] not mult-threading [10:36] sajuuk: that card will support dual heads if it has multiple output ports === MartyMcFly is now known as MartyMacFly [10:36] !report [10:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about report [10:37] ok, now I have one monitor and my laptop monitor, will that dual screen? [10:37] sajuuk if you have an external port it should do [10:37] which it does, check :) [10:37] I have a simple question, maybe someone has already a solution to that: I know, that 8.10 uses a different X method, and comes with Compiz enabled. Unfortunetally compiz works still not well with Wine, so I would like to disable it, but then I lose OpenGL support. How do I enable OpenGL for X without compiz? (xorg.conf gets overwritten with every restart) [10:37] sajuuk: have you installed video drivers? [10:38] ActionParsnip it's an intel card [10:38] for the 855? No, i assumed not to cos it works [10:38] but i do have the 2nd screen hooked up [10:38] ikonia: still needs a driver, even if its vesa, its a driver [10:38] via the VGA port on the laptop [10:38] ActionParsnip you don't install drivers for the "intel" cards [10:39] ikonia: well its part of a stock install, just needs configuring [10:39] ActionParsnip yes [10:39] and i have 2 screens that are exactly the same but i want them to dual screen [10:39] norbert79 try run metacity --replace maybe [10:39] ikonia: but drivers are installed for it, which is my point [10:39] ActionParsnip they are already installed ?/??? [10:39] u guys know what I mean? cos i sometimes sound very weird when i describe my problems [10:39] ActionParsnip: where is he going to get drivers [10:40] nbeebo: Hmm, do you think that will force compiz not loading? The problem is, when I turn off the special effects,. it also removes the OpenGL support, which is pretty silly [10:40] ikonia: repos [10:40] ActionParsnip where ???? they are already part of the default install [10:40] ikonia: you assume they havent been removed? [10:40] ActionParsnip: oh come on [10:40] ikonia: as i always say. I assume nothing [10:41] !norbert79, metacity is a window manager just as compiz so it just replaces compiz with metacity.. all i know :/ [10:41] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:41] the 855 won't come off in a hurry, its an integrated vga card on the laptop motherboard [10:41] ActionParsnip: is the machiens turned on, is he logged in, come on [10:41] ikonia: ive had some bad cases in here [10:41] nbeebo: I see. I am familiar with metacity and compiz, I just can't understand why it forces X not loading GLX parts... Well, thanks for the tip anyway [10:41] ikonia: !termnal is pretty bad in most users eyes [10:42] norbert79 np.. [10:42] so what do I do to dual screen the 855gm with the laptop and my old desktop monitor? [10:43] hey everyone has anyone used Stardict before? [10:43] hi all [10:44] @Admins: I get a 503 from ubuntuforums.org .... Is the site down? [10:44] Scolo: It is [10:44] scorp123: it is [10:44] danmn tab :) [10:44] !date [10:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about date [10:44] sajuuk: here's some nice xorg.conf snippets you can use: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/292795/+viewstatus [10:44] what day is it today in europe? sorry for offtopic ... [10:44] yeah it just went down [10:44] norbert79: oh dear [10:44] nbeebo: Try #ubuntu-offtopic [10:44] norbert79: (I mean the site being down .... ) [10:44] scorp123: I did it too [10:45] ok Action, i will take a look through them, but I am simply a desktop user of linux, i wont know too much [10:45] nbeebo: tuesday 02.12.08 [10:45] difh-iceroot, thanks [10:45] does ubuntu's default kernel config include PAE? is there a PAE-enabled kernel in the repos? [10:45] nbeebo: that's a strange question [10:45] sajuuk: i gotta check some stuff out, maybe someone can use those to help [10:45] error404: you have to use the "server" kernel [10:46] scorp123 thx [10:46] error404: sudo apt-get install linux-server .... that will get you PAE [10:46] error404: but: Also make sure you get the "-headers" dependencies ... for some odd reason they won't install automagically [10:47] scorp123: i like "automagically" [10:47] is any libraray functions available to use the /etc/resolv.config file(read the contents, update the file with some new entries etc) in c/c++ [10:47] error404: best thing is ... Open Synaptic and search for "linux-server" .... so you'd get the "linux-server-headers", "linux-server-image" and "linux-server-restricted-modules" .... If you miss any of that then e.g. some modules like "nvidia" might refuse to work. [10:48] hi [10:48] hello [10:48] ActionParsnip: from the Linux sources .... "automagically" is mentioned several times there ... :) [10:48] yep, this guy is talking about a S-Video problem but it looks remotely the same. Would I have to change my Xorg file for the dualscreen monitor? [10:48] sajuuk: looks like it to me [10:48] hello [10:49] could someone please assist me or guide me in the right direction to setup bluetooth in mythbuntu? [10:49] hmm and how to go about it.... very carefully I guess! :D [10:49] how do I convert 25 .mov files from a DV cam to a dvd? [10:49] i can't ssh to my ibex sever after a kernel update [10:49] why is this? [10:49] gunnarahlberg: i think devede may be able to make the dvd, not sure about mov support, you could always convert it if it doesnt like it [10:50] erno: is openssh-server installed and running? [10:50] norbert79, have you tried installing compiz fusion icon? it lets you switch between compiz and metacity on the fly... but I'm still not sure whether opengl would work under metacity [10:50] erno: is there a logical link (can you ping the server by name and ip address) [10:50] ActionParsnip: Thanks, I will give it another try. devede blew up (assertionerror) [10:50] nbeebo: why this question about the date in Europe?? You have a Swedish IP address ... aren't you supposed to know the day too? :D [10:50] erno: is there any firewalling which may get in the way [10:51] ndlovu: The same does the 'appereance' menu option too, but I would like to disable it permanently... [10:51] gunnarahlberg: try "kino" [10:51] ndlovu: Good idea tough [10:51] gunnarahlberg: it has a convert function [10:51] gunnarahlberg: in my experience, ive had to watch devede do its trick and not use the system [10:51] does anyone know whow to do a whois on someone on xchat? [10:51] /whois foo [10:51] ndlovu: The disturbing thing is, that opengl should not be dependent on compiz [10:51] scorp123: couse i dont have anything that tells day on desktop so..... [10:51] erno: do you have the correct ip address / name/ [10:51] ActionParsnip: this will take a while.... [10:52] thats not working fiyawerx [10:52] when using mythtv to watch tv, what hardware do i need to buy for my laptop ? [10:52] nbeebo: you should drink less ;-) [10:52] rookeeeeeeeee, check the server window [10:52] ActionParsnip: is there a CLI to devede? i did google it :) [10:52] could someone please assist me or guide me in the right direction to setup bluetooth in mythbuntu?? [10:52] rookeeeeeeeee, or just right click their name in the namelist [10:52] or in ubuntu [10:53] gunnarahlberg: not sure man [10:53] Ok, opened up xorg.conf, i have an entry for monitor which is just 'configured monitor' and screen which is 'configured monitor/video device" [10:53] sajuuk: you'll need gksudo gedit to open it [10:54] sajuuk: then you need to read the link i gave you and pull bits across [10:54] ActionParsnip: I'm in a hurry so I'll just believe you, thanks [10:54] sajuuk: if you get stuck you can press esc at grub boot and fix xorg [10:54] how do you fix xorg? with recovery? [10:55] sajuuk: dpkg-reconfigure xorg-config I guess [10:55] works for almost every package dpkg-reconfigure [10:55] sajuuk: yeah recovery for your kernel has the option [10:56] ActionParsnip: So do I need to add a DefaultRoot /directory_of_choice? [10:57] ActionParsnip: as there isn't one in as default [10:57] j0nr: yeah, sounds about right [11:00] can anyone tell me what will i need to install java run time? I'm looking for the exact package name so that i can apt-get.. [11:00] !java | krisys [11:00] krisys: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [11:01] krisys: I think you should try to use apt-cache search sun | grep java [11:01] norbert79: nice one [11:01] ubottu: norbert79 : thanks. [11:01] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:01] ActionParsnip: Your reply is much precise tough :) [11:02] ok ActionParsnip, I can drag across the monitor but its not of that type of monitor its a different type, i suppose I change it around to suit the monitor? [11:02] norbert79: im just lazy :D [11:02] KrimZon: You are welcome [11:02] ActionParsnip: :) [11:02] krisys: You are welcome... Damn tab again :) [11:02] norbert79, if I switch between compiz and metacity, glxgears works fine on both. As far as I know indicates that opengl is working independent of compiz on my system (8.04) [11:02] sajuuk: the type isnt important really, its the refresh rates and resolutions you set [11:02] ok [11:02] sajuuk: you can set them if you want, its purely aesthetic [11:02] ndlovu: Ok, disable, compiz, and restart your X... [11:03] ndlovu: OpenGL tends to disappear after the next 'restart' [11:03] good good, 60 hz and 1024x768 monitor is what i have then [11:03] norbert79, I'll try it out and get back to you... [11:03] ndlovu: Cheers [11:04] when using mythtv to watch tv, what hardware do i need to buy for my laptop ? [11:04] erbi: I doubt you will need a recent hardware, any medicore or lower types of PC would be also enough [11:04] erbi: one that fits its interface and one thats big enough to hold what you wanna store [11:05] erbi: You can watch mythtv using an older Pentium 1 with Voodoo card too... afaik [11:05] ActionParsnip: haha, i just figured out why i could'nt get Tilda to autostart =P .... a simple typo, had written "Tilda" instead of "tilda" =P [11:07] ok Action, what are the refresh rate lines on the crt monitor? HorizSync 28-96 [11:07] VertRefresh 43-160? would it be these? how would i change it to just 60hz? [11:09] Syrre: yep, linux is CasE SEnSiTIve [11:09] hehe [11:09] I have a printing issue. The printer is attached to a Windows box. I can see it when I add the printer as a network printer over samba. However when I try to USE the printer the file doesn't go anywhere. The windows box sees a new printer on my machine as if it were connected here. What do I need to change to make it realize that the printer is on the OTHER machine? [11:10] I'm using WebAdmin and can edit the samba config directly. I can also do it through GSambad. [11:10] ok ActionParsnip, done the refresh rates, i think, now I gotta add the new monitor to a 'section device' [11:11] ActionParsnip: But which section do I add it to? [11:11] Danny-aka-Recce: have you added the linux printer driver to your linux system? [11:12] sajuuk: its a whole extra section, read the guide, it has 3 monitors specified [11:12] i only have one monitor to add though [11:12] norbert79, glxgears works under metacity even after a restart [11:12] It asks you what the printer type is when you set it up. It then finishes the config. If I just plug the printer into this machine then there are no problems at all. So I'm assuming that yes the driver is installed. [11:12] and its only a VGA one [11:13] sajuuk: then add it in the same way [11:13] ndlovu: Weird... I have still issues under my Eee and 8.10... Somehow I lose the Gl support for the Eee after I disable compiz. [11:14] sajuuk: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-August/091347.html [11:15] Hi. I have a pptx file here (powerpoint 2007) that I want to convert to ppt, odp or pdf. I have OpenOffice 3.0 installed but it looks like shit. Anyway to convert it? [11:15] norbert79, it might be that compiz fusion icon maintains control of the xorg.conf, and does not disable the opengl parts? I'm not too familiar with the settings though. [11:15] Blinkiz: Well, do some formatting first before converting it... :) [11:15] ndlovu: Yes, it needs more investigation ... Thanks for testing! [11:16] norbert79, I don't have powerpoint 2007, I got the file from a friend [11:16] norbert79, no problem [11:16] Blinkiz: its a propritary format so you may have iissues. i have no idea how to convert it [11:16] oki [11:16] Blinkiz: Well, open the file, correct the errors in the file, and convert it after you have made the corrections [11:16] ActionParsnip, can I do a pastebin of my Xorg and see if i have done it right? [11:16] hello, is it normal that my wireless connection asks for the WEP code at each startup? [11:17] sajuuk: sure [11:17] hi, i have a parallel port drive... wanted to use it...how do i mount it in ubuntu? [11:18] arvind_khadri: depends whats attatched to it [11:18] ActionParsnip, a hard disk [11:19] arvind_khadri: you sure its not a com port [11:19] ActionParsnip, how do i know what port it is btw [11:19] arvind_khadri: parallel is 36 pins === chaky_ is now known as chaky [11:20] arvind_khadri: com port is 9 pins [11:20] ActionParsnip, this has 25 pins [11:20] sorry, parallel is 25 pins [11:21] ActionParsnip, ya this is parallel... got 25 pins [11:21] well, in my synaptic package manager, im trying to install banshee, and in that manager, it says the latest version is 1.2.1 [11:21] how come my synaptic package manager cannot get the correct updated version ? [11:21] well, in my synaptic package manager, im trying to install banshee, and in that manager, it says the latest version is 1.2.1 [11:21] but on the banshee-project.org site, they released 1.4 on nov10th2008. [11:21] ok, how would I configure my ATI drivers to get a refresh rate above 60Hz? I installed the proprietary drivers, yet no luck. [11:22] arvind_khadri: if you connect it and run sudo fdisk -l does it show up? [11:22] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/m409e64d6 [11:22] ActionParsnip, nope [11:23] sajuuk: i wouldnt have the @ symbols round the second monitor section name [11:24] they r for bolding [11:24] What is the best way to get an offline version of Wikipedia for Ubuntu? [11:25] arvind_khadri: this may help, this mounts iomega zip drives (parallel) so should be similar for standard hdds: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IomegaZIPDrive [11:25] ActionParsnip, thanks... [11:25] sajuuk: and you only have one screen [11:25] erbi: The version on the banshee-project website will have been released after ubuntu 8.10 was released, they have a policy of normally issuing only security and bug fixes until the next ubuntu release [11:25] hi, is there any app avalible from apt that can display web-trafic from an apache site? [11:26] ActionParsnip, i need to add another screen? [11:26] forums down, I need to read a page, is there a cache? [11:26] Hi all! [11:26] Will Ubuntuforums be offline for long? [11:26] hi, i have a network (router,switch,4 SIP phones) and need to be able to capture all inbound / outbound udp traffic, any ideas how - i was thinking of using net:bridge ? (I have a ubuntu server built with 2x nic's) [11:26] sajuuk: well, yeah. you have your laptop screen and your external screen [11:27] ok [11:27] sajuuk: the second link i gave you shows you how they are laid out [11:27] can u repost that link? [11:27] DJones: im running ubuntu 8.10 64bit, should i use 1.2.1(from my synaptic package manager or 1.4 ? [11:28] err lemme rephrase the question... [11:28] Will Ubuntuforums be offline for long? [11:29] erbi: I would stick with with the version in the repo's, that way if there are any security updates you get them automatically, if you install from a non-ubuntu repo, you might find that you don't get future updates [11:29] how do i update my repositories so that my box can display 1.4.1 instead of the older version 1.2.1 ? where do i change settings? isnt it something like NAME.list ? [11:29] oh [11:29] is there any way I can get an 85Hz refresh rate on Ubuntu 8.10 with the proprietary ATI Drivers? [11:30] i just thought my repopositories aren't up to date.. how do i check? === cE is now known as cE__ [11:30] Hi all [11:31] is it possible by using resolver library routines to change the DNS IP address? [11:32] erbi, sources.list [11:32] Hola [11:32] hello, what's the command to delete all files in a directory? [11:32] rm * [11:33] ive put an unformatted sdcard into my internal reader, but ubuntu has done nothing. how can I mount it? Ive used formatted sdcards no problem [11:33] ubuntu_user_123 : rm -rf * [11:33] without deleting directory itself [11:33] this :) [11:33] Hello? [11:33] thanks NtM [11:33] just go INTO folder [11:33] :) [11:33] and type this [11:33] :) [11:33] NetM: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[11:34] rapha, no :p [11:34] oh ok :) [11:34] ;) [11:34] So then I'll try again - will the forums be offline for long? [11:35] * crimsaq has no idea [11:35] didnt know they were down :p [11:35] oh, k [11:35] hello [11:35] Well [11:35] Do they work for you, crimsaq? [11:35] address? [11:35] could someone please assist me or guide me in the right direction to setup bluetooth in mythbuntu?? [11:35] crimsaq: ubuntuforums.org ofc [11:35] hi, i have just installed google earth from the medibuntu repo, it worked, but the display is blurry, my graphic cards is from intel , how do i resolve it [11:35] sec [11:35] nope [11:35] didnt work [11:35] ok, since xorg.conf is no longer used for video and such, how would I configure my ATI to get a correct refresh rate of 85Hz. Anybody know? [11:36] is there a way to tell adduser not to prompt for name and all that crap so i can trun in non-interactively? [11:36] crimsaq: k, so it's not just me or only germany. good to know :P [11:36] yea :P [11:36] <- FL, USA [11:36] ;) [11:36] crimsaq: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:36] that bot needs to die [11:37] vik [11:37] condoulo: im using the restricted ATI drivers on ubuntu 8.10 at home , and I have the ATI control center available via Applications [11:37] Yeah, it floods more than the ppl it warns. [11:37] condoulo: which should let you control the refresh rate [11:37] nvidia > ATI [11:37] ;D [11:37] gavinlew, yeah, that gives me the same refresh rates as the Screen Resolution Tool Ubuntu provides. [11:37] ok, trying vsftp now... am i right in thinking, that if it default to be able to log in and see your home directory, do i just go to the ip address of my home router? [11:38] condoulo: oh , i dont know much more than that then im afraid, mainly use nvidia kit [11:38] eg ftp://ip.address.of.homome [11:38] home* [11:38] crimsaq: rapha: To know when the forums will be back up ask in #ubuntuforums [11:38] someone have a few minutes to help me try and debug, seemingly, random hard locks in 8.04 (also was present in 7.10). I have theories but logs do not seem to support them [11:39] mine hard locks about once every 50 uptime days :p [11:39] I blame old hardware though [11:39] mine has hard locked about 8 times in the last 12 hours [11:39] oh [11:39] you're much worse than me :P [11:39] yeah [11:39] I can sustain a 50 day uptime usually :P [11:39] my other one does just fine... [11:39] thanks crimsaq [11:40] it appears to happen after a long period of sustaining 3-5Mbps up (or down) [11:40] but I can find nothing in the logs to confirm that [11:40] any ever hear of something like that? [11:41] maybe your network card is on the fritz :P [11:41] already thought of that, bought a new gigabit card a few weeks ago [11:41] ah [11:41] tested RAM, tested HDs [11:41] gah. I'm going back to 8.04 where I actually had a usable refresh rate, and than maybe do a distro upgrade from there >.> [11:42] isn't a heat problem (gets a little warm, but not bad), CPU load is minimal [11:42] hi [11:42] pretty bizzar [11:42] say speaking of which... how is 8.10? [11:42] Anyone here know the Gallery nightlies workings? [11:43] Joe_: I have 8.10 working great here. Haven't had any major problems. [11:43] I haven't upgraded off 8.04 since 8.04 broke Synergy [11:43] you use Hamachi and/or synergy by chance? [11:43] no [11:43] * crimsaq is on Kubuntu 8.04 :p [11:43] decent... except I can't get my ATI to get a proper refresh rate (I have the resolution I want, but not the refresh rate. And xorg.conf no longer has the job of doing that, so the fix isn't as simple as it used to be) [11:43] * Mustinet tv izliycem eyq [11:43] that doesn't sound good... I use nvidia on this machine, but I have 4 monitors connected to it [11:43] I want to install a new nightly but need to remove the earlier one first, and it will not remove it. [11:43] I'd kill someone if that broke [11:44] nvidia rocks [11:44] ati sucks :P [11:44] the new ATI cards are sweet [11:44] >.> [11:44] Joe_: I have nvidia and found the 173 driver to be incapable on my machines. I uninstalled it and installed the 93 driver and everything worked [11:44] and AMD claims that they are going to open up the drivers [11:44] Hello, i got a problem.. for some reason i cant install 'procps', error: http://rafb.net/p/Bwluv686.html - does someone know how i can solve this? :) [11:44] Joe_: You could try a liveCD of course, that way you won't have to kill anyone [11:44] I have to use the 169 driver due to one of my video cards [11:45] hi! is mounting any different when it's rw instead of just r? [11:45] vinceman you mean besides not being able to write to it? [11:45] hey guys in ubuntu how do i reload the /etc/hosts file without rebooting? [11:45] hola [11:45] does anybody know what config file does hold refresh rate information and such now, since xorg.conf no longer does?

[11:56] hi all, is there a way to format the hard drive that the os is installed on by using the os? [11:56] schone0a- no [11:56] it is preserved for the other [11:56] schone0a you could try, and probably screw it all up good... use a liveCD and you should be ok [11:56] vinceman you have 2 drives? [11:56] a read and a readwrite [11:57] some one use lamp here the php,my SQL.... program? [11:57] well i m selling the hard drives [11:57] how many G?

[11:57] some one use lamp here the php,my SQL.... program? [11:57] eh? [11:58] vinceman nothing, just didn't realize you had two and that was the problem [11:58] vinceman I'm assuming the first drive works fine? [11:58] guysi want to setup lamp in ubuntu. is it better to use tasksel or aptitude? [11:58] !tasksel [11:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about tasksel [11:58] !info tasksel [11:58] tasksel (source: tasksel): Tool for selecting tasks for installation on Debian systems. In component main, is important. Version 2.73ubuntu11 (intrepid), package size 63 kB, installed size 884 kB [11:58] turuburu: tasksel is easier, but package management works just fine too [11:58] !lamp | turuburu [11:58] turuburu: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [11:58] turuburu: any are good, i use apt-get [11:59] yes it does Joe_ [11:59] turuburu: all pretty much the same deal [12:00] tasksel is easiery. so if i do tasksel i hope i will not end up with bloated installation with a lot of useless software? [12:00] vinceman ok, do sudo fdisk -l [12:00] turuburu: i can imagine itd install necessary deps only [12:00] turuburu: No, it'll do more or less identical to what you'd do with a package manager [12:00] vinceman do you see both drives listed there? [12:00] turuburu: if you prefer it, use it [12:00] yes i prefer it, because in aptitude i must select specific packages [12:00] hai [12:00] thanks [12:01] Joe_, what is the abbreviation sdb1 meant for anyway [12:01] ? [12:01] hai [12:01] jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj [12:01] another question: i cant find how to install pico in ubuntu server, although in ubuntu desktop was easy to install [12:01] why do so many package managers exist when they achieve the same goal. I cant differentiate between them [12:01] client: Please stop [12:01] ok [12:01] turuburu: sudo apt-get install pico [12:01] turuburu: pico isn't Free, but nano is already installed. [12:01] turuburu: if thats no good, try tab completing [12:01] vinceman actually.. I don't know, mine are all hd... [12:01] actionparsnip: itdid not exist [12:01] nano is AWESOME [12:02] Joe_ I see only harddisk entries [12:02] flannel: thanks for the tip. i did not know nano! :) [12:02] joe hai [12:02] Does anyone know how do I receive mails from junkbox of hotmail using Evolution [12:02] forgetpico then [12:02] turuburu: apt-cache search pico | less [12:02] flanel [12:02] so i should put non-free repository [12:02] is linux soft? [12:02] action.. it was not there because maybe of it was not free and i did not touch the repos [12:02] turuburu: No. non-free doesn't exist for linux, just use nano, it's a Free version of pico [12:02] but flaneel thanks for nano [12:02] until when are there security updates for Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy) ? [12:02] vinceman sdb is the last entry? [12:02] WhiteBlueDragon: 18 months, so until April of next year [12:03] Flannel: thanks a lot [12:03] man fdisk doesn't look for dvd-stations [12:03] vinceman yes, but they go in order [12:03] vinceman so take the last entry, I'll assume sdb, your first dvd drive should be sdc and teh second would be sdd [12:04] ActionParsnip, im going to do another pastebin with what I have compiled [12:04] sajuuk: sure [12:04] should just a standard install of vsftpd allow me to log in remotely? if so, is it just by entering my routers external ip address? [12:05] j0nr: you will need to setup port forwarding to the linux box [12:05] can anyone help with ricoh sd card reader please?

[12:58] i've had problems with DNS in Ubuntu 8.10 as well on some machines [12:58] DarkKnight: Indeed, as it is based on Debian, and Debian packages are also compaitble with Ubuntu... Ubuntu alsways uses the 'unstable' part from Debian. This gives you always the latest, but not always the most stable packages. [12:58] i fixed it by removing all network managers hehehe [12:58] : i am using 8600GT and everything is fined with restricted driver 177 [12:59] snek, with me, without manually setting the DNS in network manager browsing never worked. [12:59] i know...also for me is everiting ok but i cant play mkv files... [12:59] somehow the network manager liked to overwrite my settings because it kept grabbing things from dhcp, eventhough the connection was setup manually [13:00] mkv files should play fine in VLC and Xine, no? [13:00] i used them all the time [13:00] norbert; i m actually trying to get into the deveopment side of ubuntu as part of my project......but its taking time and i even hardly know all the types of directories.....any idea how i can learn all these quickly [13:00] -d* [13:00] mkv is a container format [13:00] yep [13:00] : did you try w32codecs / w64codecs on medi ubuntu repository ? [13:01] hum...no [13:01] hmm i've never seen a windows codec inside an mkv, but i guess it might be possible :S [13:01] DarkKnight: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment [13:01] can you help me do that [13:01] !v4l [13:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about v4l [13:03] : a u using 8.10 ? x86 or AMD64 ? [13:03] hi guys ive added this line to /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 www.google.com [13:03] 8.10 [13:03] x86 [13:03] but when i do dig www.google.com it stills shows the outside ip [13:03] and not the 127.0.0.1 [13:03] hello [13:03] echo "deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ intrepid free non-free" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list [13:03] wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update [13:04] XB23: dig asks the nameservers [13:04] XB23: as DNS servers return with the address registered in the DNS servers... yet I doubt you would be able to connect to google.com using that line :) [13:04] oh [13:04] XB23: it does not care about /etc/hosts [13:04] i dont want to connect to google norbert79 [13:04] its a test im doing [13:04] if i did curl www.google.com [13:04] XB23: ping google.com [13:04] ah k [13:04] any good package to test my webcam? [13:04] you will see the IP it's using [13:05] dsdeiz, cheese [13:05] XB23: It also depends on the DNS servers you are using... [13:05] nope still using the google name [13:05] can someone help with the wifi driver rt2860 ? I have installed it , it works on ra0, scans correctly, but no way to use it with WPA and network-manager [13:05] hi [13:05] snek: obviously you need this sudo apt-get install w32codecs [13:05] joseph__, In 8.10 the Network-manager automatically handles WPA. [13:05] how come i can't install gnome-desktop-environment in the mini iso? it says that keyring is missing for gnome. but that's all that it needs. [13:05] Trying to get dual-head display working on ubuntu-eee. Last time I set this up i came across a weird little tool that gave me some options, on the side it had "Screen 1", "screen 2" and you can set the default screen etc. [13:05] so how would i do it so www.google.com on my box points to 127.0.0.1 [13:05] thanks [13:05] i cant for the life of me find that little guy again [13:05] ring any bells with anyone? [13:06] XB23: you did it already [13:06] norbert; yes i have gone thru that...it says that that i need to fix bugs..etc [13:06] subdolus, Maybe a gui for xrandr [13:06] Guys, anyone any advice where to start reading about how to setup/install mysql and postgre? [13:06] tomcheng76: i somehow doubt there's a windows codec in an mkv.. i've never ever seen that, but it IS possible ;) [13:06] yes king that works with ndiswrapper [13:06] !mysql [13:06] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [13:06] jrib when i do ping it shows the real ip [13:06] and not 127.0.0.1 [13:06] ndo, Yes that page is pretty much it. [13:06] : go here http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-mplayer-and-multimedia-codecs-libdvdcss2w32codecsw64codecs-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html [13:06] but I try to get the rt2860 working as well [13:06] DarkKnight: Well, you need to be a bit more specific, because I tought you are looking for some infos on how Ubuntu is being developed, and I think wiki.ubuntu.com is a great source to it [13:06] XB23: save the file? If you wrote it properly, it should work [13:07] well if i go back into it it shows the saved changes [13:07] !wifi > joseph__ [13:07] joseph__, please see my private message [13:07] XB23: pastebin your file [13:07] ok ubottu [13:07] king: ty, and not ubuntu? if on something redhat side? [13:07] norbert; i have the whole idea about it..... [13:07] if i print any PDF file, the output is scrambled/enlarged; this only goes for PDF; the printer used to work fine (i have an Ubuntu 8.04 with the latest updates), does anyone happen to know how to solve this? [13:07] norbert; and right now i just got curious abt the history of ubuntu...so i was searching out [13:08] ndo, The configuration instructions would remain the same. Just get hold of the right packages. [13:08] usually mkv are mpeg4, but i think he is able to play avi file :- ) [13:08] http://pastebin.com/m77bca216 [13:08] theres the file [13:08] DarkKnight: You might want to check the Ubuntu magazines, http://www.fullcirclemagazine.org [13:08] norbert79; i m trying to get into the development team...so i spend lots of time in the forums and here too [13:08] vlad, what player are you using to play the MKV files? [13:09] thanks for the message ubuntulog [13:09] DarkKnight: I dount that would be that easy, and yes, you jhave to be pretty active on sending bugreports, diff files, etc etc [13:09] XB23: ah, but is anything listening on 127.0.0.1? I think ping will move on if what it tries in /etc/hosts doesn't work at first [13:09] king: k [13:09] well it dosent even try 127.0.0.1 [13:09] DarkKnight: Spending time somewhere doesn'T make anyone a developer yet. Tough I am pretty sure that any help is warmly welcomed, yet you have to prove, that you are capable on handling problems, and solve problems [13:10] DarkKnight: So as first step, start hunting down bugs, sending bugreports, solutions to bugs, etc etc [13:10] Hi all. I don't have Ubunto, but I have a blog entry popular with you guys :) Can someone tell me what package the binary setxkbmap is in? (or is there an Ubuntu package search website?) thx [13:10] norbert79; ya...so 1st i thought i would become more familiar with the filesystem etc.... and networking...get a sound info abt how the OS works...so i thought i might get back to the basics [13:10] jrib [13:10] XB23: it won't tell you it tried [13:10] here is my ping [13:10] http://pastebin.com/m5cf96667 [13:10] DarkKnight: Get subscribed to the developer maillist [13:10] norbert79; okk... [13:11] iaindb: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [13:11] DarkKnight: Ah, so you just have started using Linux... Well, get familiar with the basics first then... [13:11] XB23: use 69.147.76.15 (www.yahoo.com) and see [13:11] DarkKnight: There are some good documentations on generic Linux guides on the net [13:11] apt-cache search setxkbmap [13:11] x11-xkb-utils - X11 XKB utilities [13:11] xfce4-xkb-plugin - xkb layout switch plugin for the Xfce4 panel [13:12] tomcheng76: don't have apt-cache :) but I found it thanks to the link from snek :) [13:12] norbert79; its not that i just started using linux...the fact is that i had been using since the past 6-7 months....got handy with certain commands..... and now started off with the SAG....wat do u think [13:12] hmm so i need to setup 127.0.0.1? [13:12] thanks all :) [13:13] norbert79; i 1st used Debian...then got onto ubuntu..... [13:13] 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.038 ms [13:13] if i have a tar.gz of a flashplayer, how do i install it ? thanks alot in advance. [13:13] 127.0.0.1 is working [13:13] norbert79; and i started loving ubuntu [13:13] erbi❅ Follow the instructions where you downloaded it from, or inside the tar [13:13] erbi" tar xvf abc.tar.gz [13:13] does ubuntu cache anything with /etc/hosts [13:13] DarkKnight: You might still consider on getting know more different linuxes. You sound to be still a beginner, I think you will need to learn a bit more... Start making your own packages, try to understand the differences between different package handlers, start looking for documentations on security, etc etc [13:13] erbi: delete it. Install the flashplugin-nonfree package from multiverse using your favorite package manager instead [13:14] DarkKnight: I am pretty sure you enjoy being part all of this, but give yourself a bit more time [13:14] How do you get a static mac address? Mine changes every once in a while and i rely on a network that authenticates on mac instead of password. [13:14] i wish to install a native 64bit adobe flash player [13:14] anyone uses rsync? [13:14] DarkKnight: and learn more... You are not ready yet, young Skywalker :) [13:14] norbert79; ohh...ya.....where do i get more info on packages [13:14] reenignEesreveR, yes [13:14] DarkKnight: Well, that would be your first task, finding this out :) [13:14] norbert79; ya nice usage....skywalker [13:15] ddgoose ... do you use ti with rsync server or without server? [13:15] erbi❅ I'm not sure (not on a 64bitmachine atm) but I think you only need to put the libflash.so in /usr/lib/ [13:15] DarkKnight: Find out how many different package methods are used, there is .deb for example as you might know, but what are the others? [13:15] :) [13:15] reenignEesreveR, I have a 2 stage ubuntu repo, so just the client [13:15] How do you get a static mac address? Mine changes every once in a while and i rely on a network that authenticates on mac instead of password. [13:15] hello everybody i have some question about HAProxy.? [13:15] tar -xvzf flashplayer10_install_linux_*.tar.gz [13:15] DarkKnight: That would be a good start [13:15] erbi: how come you can't use the normal way of installing flash? [13:16] norbert79; the other is rpm [13:16] no it still will run 32bit natively through 32bit libraries [13:16] erbi: drop the .so in ~/.mozilla/plugins/ then. Remove the flashplugin-nonfree package [13:16] DarkKnight: Thats also one method, yes, but there are way more [13:16] * NetM is back (gone 01:01:12) [13:16] norbert79; u are gud at giving assignments....i m starting here....also i started a blog of my own....wish to see it....?? http://ossarchives.blogspot.com/ [13:16] !away > NetM [13:16] NetM, please see my private message [13:16] dietwater, your mac address should not change for no reason [13:16] my flash keeps crashing time to time [13:17] ziroday: there is problem in 64bit flash nonfree package, we have to install the beta one [13:17] Well I added mine to their list and it changed after a restart... [13:17] dietwater, did you mean ip address? [13:17] and since im running 64bit, i would like to run flash player through 64bit natively [13:17] DarkKnight: You could also try to compile your own packages, or at least your oiwn binaries... To understand the way how hard/easy on creating binaries is... [13:17] tomcheng76: understood, shouldn't have jumped in :) [13:17] erbi: then do it [13:17] DarkKnight: Then you could create your own deb packages [13:17] i have two ubuntu 8.10 and on one, a new icon pops up when i add a usb stick, and on the other nothing happens. [13:17] No, I mean mac address. I'm not a nubcake lol. [13:17] erbi: though the native 64bit flash is crashy for me. On intrepid flash through nspluginwrapper has yet to crash for me [13:17] how can i fix the latter (which was born as a 7.04 system, while the first one was born as 8.04) [13:18] erbi❅ http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2008/11/25/64-bit-adobe-flash-ubuntu.html [13:18] [root@localhost ~]# mysql -u root [13:18] ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) [13:18] norbert79; okk...so where do i get the packages that i need to compile...any idea [13:18] any suggestions?:) [13:18] erbi❅ make sure you remove nspluginwrapper etc as well [13:18] !php > ndo [13:18] ndo, please see my private message [13:18] ndo: try do mysql -u root -p [13:18] dietwater, what hardware? [13:18] DarkKnight: Well, this is why I have told you to make yourself familiar with packaging methods first. Then you can start building your own binaaries, like take Pidgin for example, and try to compile the source. [13:19] ndo, by default, the package manager would have asked you to setup a password for mysql. === heather is now known as smithoper [13:19] norbert79; thanx buddy....u have been a gr8 help....can we know each other [13:19] Whats the command to see networking drivers again? [13:19] ziroday: -p is? :) [13:19] nm [13:19] ndo: password [13:19] when i use the lsusb command.. how do i tell which /dev/??? the item is to mount? [13:19] DarkKnight: You could also take some time, and read through this: The Linux System Administrators' Guide: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/sag/sag.pdf === hb is now known as PyroPhelia [13:19] king: yes, idd, but.. sec [13:19] btw, for anyone trying to setup a LAMP with Ubuntu maybe I suggest the excellent SliceHost articles? ;) http://articles.slicehost.com/ubuntu-hardy [13:19] sfears❅ you can just type: mount [13:20] DarkKnight: You are warmly welcome. Certainly [13:20] ndo: you should have a passoword as default therefore you do mysql -u root -p and then a password prompt will appear [13:20] thanks alot jrib [13:20] I am getting reandom kernel panics and I believe they are due to a problem with the ethernet drivers! [13:20] norbert79; I am Roshan from India.... [13:20] now all I need to do is prove this and/or find a fix [13:20] ndo: without -p mysql thinks you want to login with no password and give you access denied errors [13:20] norbert79; u?? [13:20] TuxSympathiser: what network adaptor a u using [13:20] Is there a way to determine which package a specific file came from? [13:20] ziroday: k ty [13:20] Hey all together, i am a LInux/Ubuntu Newb and need really Help to configure the ATI Drivers. Does someone off you have 5 min please? [13:20] So how I get my wifi driver? [13:21] DarkKnight: Check your private messages [13:21] I know mine starts with an M XD. [13:21] can you be more specific hateball? [13:21] dietwater: do you k now what device you have? [13:21] jrib: so you prefer the flashplugin-nonfree through nspluginwrapper over the native 64bit flash ? [13:21] sfears❅ To see what mounts you currently have, just type: mount [13:21] sfears❅ It doesnt get more specific [13:21] erbi: yes [13:22] jrib: also, when you say crashy, what do you mean? [13:22] tomcheng76, I think it is an intel ethernet adapter [13:22] erbi❅ I run 64bit, and imo it's better [13:22] It's a marvell. I remembered. [13:22] how often [13:22] MAXIMOO7: i cant help you. I know i need Ubuntu, so i choose nvidia :-) [13:22] erbi: it crashes my browser [13:22] ok im in with "mysql -u root -p" [13:22] tomcheng76, not too sure about the model number though [13:22] ah [13:22] dietwater: is this an internal wireless device? [13:22] TuxSympathiser: what is the output of lspci [13:22] Should be an internal wifi modem. [13:22] erbi: when I view certain flash sites (it was some google video iirc). You can give it a try though and see if it works for yo [13:22] I had a problem with it back in 8.04. [13:23] erbi, jrib: I havent had one crash since switching to native 64bit instead of nsplugin... but I guess ymmw :) [13:23] ah ha solved it jrib [13:23] nnswitch.conf [13:23] dietwater: open a terminal and type "lspci" hit enter, and see if it lists the wireless device in the list that comes up [13:23] hosts: dns files [13:23] swaped it to files dns [13:23] so, could you tell me how to have the same flash setup as you? installing flashplugin-nonfree through synaptic package manager, then what? [13:23] and it works [13:23] XB23: strange, that's not default [13:23] MAXIMOO7: the Restricted Drivers helper should be able to install the ATI drivers for you, if you have a radeon based card [13:23] not sure [13:23] works now though [13:23] sfears, you need to type 'mount' from a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) [13:23] Sorry, it's an atheros. [13:24] dietwater: there's a lot of atheros devices, what exactly does it say [13:24] Atheros ar928x pci-express [13:24] erbi: that's it [13:24] I wan't to make my gdm login look like the Mac.

I am blind, so I need two things. I need a gdm theme that looks like the username - password login vs the icon login, and a cli way for installing the theme [13:26] i got another question, do you run a 64bit browser or 32bit ? [13:26] My card works. The problem is my mac address changed, and I'm worried it will again. Is this just a weird problem? [13:27] your mac adress changed? hmmm [13:27] TuxSympathiser: i think the problem came from e1000 module [13:27] I added mine to the school's list, and then it changed the next day and I'm like wut? [13:27] That made perfect sense =) [13:27] tomcheng76, so it is possible that is causing the kernel panics, I started to notice it shortly after updating last week [13:28] dietwater, probably has something to do with udev and forcedeth, take a loot at dmesg and see if it is giving an error and generating a random MAC [13:28] Anyone? [13:28] tomcheng76, the driver being used is e1000e [13:28] This was a while ago, thanks for that command, I'll try once I re-change it =) [13:29] dietwater, will show up in logs like -> 0000:00:0a.0: Invalid Mac address detected: 1d:9b:2a:38:1b:00 [13:29] i like doing a: sudo less /var/log/dmesg [13:29] makes it a bit easier to scroll through :) [13:30] in default, after installing ubuntu 8.10 x86_64, when you run mozilla firefox, its running the 64bit browser correct? [13:30] I got a "unknown MAC" [13:30] I can't use a theme manager, but since front ends only make a gui on a cli, what is the cli?

[13:52] sorry [13:52] alex_21: with icons, you mean? [13:52] It works when I go online. [13:52] dietwater: No idea then. [13:52] alex_21, have you looked at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/doc/Guide? there's some information on 'Making the Login Accessible' if that helps? [13:52] dietwater: do the log dirs you are pointing to exist and are the owned by the write user?

[13:58] jrib: when you said you use the normal flash-nonfree, obviously this isnt the native 64bit flash player. im on adobe's site and the site says "To use Flash Player to view Flash content on a 64-bit operating system, you must run a 32-bit browser". according to what the adobe site says, since your running flash on your firefox, your firefox must be a 32bit correct ? [13:58] dietwater: lol.. that's a different problem [13:58] dietwater: you have to run the command in the console. [13:58] hm?

I'm not using them for the instalation though. The [14:05] alex_21: Wait, you are right, something is not right [14:05] markopotomus: it could be ubuntu is seeing another drive as the primary hdd.. and thus installing grub on the wrong drive [14:05] i had the same problem [14:05] alex_21: it seems it is not a generic GDM theme, let me find out what it is [14:05] snek erk I see [14:05] alex_21: ok, download the file first [14:06] markopotomus: the easiest way to fix this is by disconnecting the other drives during installation of ubuntu.. so you only leave in the one you want to boot from [14:06] alex_21: then run gzip -d Apple_Mac_OSX_Session_Login_by_onedread.gz [14:06] <[c0re]> hey which one is the best dock? cairo dock or avn dock? === goldins is now known as aldarsior [14:06] snek: I'll try that now.

[14:07] *fingers crossed* [14:07] zamba: get mroe ram, or close other applications :) [14:08] when i seed 10 or 15 torrents it uses too much cpu% in ktorent anyone know how to fix it or whats wrong ? [14:08] alex_21: follow ndlovu's link... when you have the file, and ungzipped and untarred it, you will get a directory called "osx-login"... you8 have to copy this whole directory to /usr/share/gdm/themes [14:08] cut the file using head ? [14:08] how do i complete remove "sun xvm virtualbox" ? [14:08] hello, it seems that the only mirrors with reasonable speed for me do not carry the newest sources for 8.10 yet. is this something they choose, or will it take some time to propagate down to them, from wherever they get their stuff? thanks [14:09] does anyone use DeVeDe with Intrepid? [14:09] i do [14:10] overrider: mirrors should be rsynced at times the maintainers determined.. so yeah, could be a while for some.. also depends on their downspeed etc [14:10] snek: Seed less torents. [14:10] Sinister': how do you remove the menu option? [14:10] snek, alright, so i guess waiting two weeks or so to make sure will not kill me [14:10] lfaraone: what? wrong person haha [14:10] leohartx: sudo apt-get purge APPLICTIONS_GO_HERE [14:10] snek: yeah... sorry. [14:10] Sinister`: seed less torrents. [14:10] leohartx: APPLICATION is "virtualbox-2.0" [14:11] overrider have you tried using the official local ubuntu repository? [14:11] ifaraone, i think it's sudo apt-get remove --purge virtualbox [14:11] dietwater, I prefer setting my own webserver, download all the tools you need and set them up yourself, lamp come with it's own configuration which can mess up if you try to tweak them- Linux/Unix are so flexible that you can create what you want [14:11] snek, yeah, and at the current rate it will take me 1 day and 8 hours to finish downloading. [14:11] snek, trouble is i got to work tomorrow [14:11] for local? hmmm [14:11] what country are you in? [14:11] leohartx: it's L, not I, and it actually is "purge", but either should work, I think [14:12] snek, china, and there are 3 mirrors which basically work awesome, if they have the goods [14:12] aha ok that explains it a bit :) [14:12] matic: the ubuntu "lamp" install is basically a sudo apt-get... so no inflexability there. [14:12] get rid of menu all together ? [14:12] tomcheng76, thank you, final i get it's name :) [14:12] snek, :-) [14:12] do you just want it to start ? [14:12] anybody here an ssh port forwarding expert? I have all these leftover sshds... [14:12] Could someone confirm for me what the optimal partition arangement should be for ubuntu?

[14:12] hwilde: meaning ghost connections from past ssh sessions? [14:13] lfaraone, yeah they are waiting for an EOF that is never coming from nc [14:13] ifaraone, ty i just dont know it's name. i managed it :D [14:13] matic: there is no "optimum"... [14:13] if you have a 280 gigs fat32 partition, something is definitly wrong [14:13] Now I untareed it and got an folder named osx-login. What do I do now? [14:13] leohartx: welcome, all i does was "apt-cache search Virtualbox" [14:13] hwilde: well, you can either kill them, or try a "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart" but I doubt that will do much [14:13] Markopotomus, why are you using fat32 [14:13] i'm trying ot write a battery state script for use with xmobar and i woudl like to know where to get battery time remaining information [14:14] or something like discharge rate woudl do, i could calculate from there [14:14] lfaraone, that would just restart them and they would build back up. are you an sshd port forwarding expert?

[14:15] lfaraone, get out of my face [14:15] hwilde: might be worthwhile to ask on !forums or !mailinglists [14:15] lfaraone, I will wait until an ssh expert is around [14:15] hwilde: I want to use some of the drive to store stuff from Windows [14:15] ifyou know you waste more time and spam everyone doing that if you cant help dont. if you can ask leading questions [14:16] !ntfs | Markopotomus [14:16] Markopotomus: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [14:16] markopotomus: are you dualbooting? [14:16] hwilde: Ok, but don't repeat your question, it makes the channel harder to follow. [14:16] markopotomus: or do you want to serve files to a windows machine over the network? [14:16] i've tried cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state but the present rate alwasy shows zero [14:16] hwilde: the ubuntu installer doesnt give ntfs as an option. But yes, I was planning to change it from fat32 to ntfs in windows [14:16] <[visage]> Good morning people. I've got an issue with intrepid here. When I click on applications, the menu is completely blank, and also I am unable to open the "main menu" app under system > preferences. Does anyone know how I can fix these problems? [14:17] udienz: **ping?pong! :D [14:17] santor, try this tool sudo apt-get install xmbmon [14:17] sneck partially yes - it doesnt quite work though. I have to change the bios settings between sata and pata to alternate between Ubuntu and WIndows [14:17] snek I dont mind that though [14:17] Ok, I moved it to usr/share/gdm/themes [14:17] What to do now to get it to come up [14:17] Sinister`: yes. i had the option of removing menu's when using it with hardy. after i upgraded to intrepid, i don't see the option to remove menu's. [14:18] hwilde you want to do what kind of port forwording? reverse tunnel ? [14:18] matic xmbmon, will this give me a new plugin for xmobar, or what [14:18] snek - actually I think you may have been spot on with your suggestion that it was installing grub on another drive. I switched to pata mode and it actually loaded [14:18] :) [14:18] tomcheng76, I have a lot of leftover sshd's from the reverse tunnels [14:18] alex_21: You again have forget to adress your questions directly to one person. You need to edit the file: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf [14:18] i see [14:18] markopotomus: it has caused me a lot of headaches in the past as well until i figured it out... [14:19] snek although it's possible I've damaged the mbr on that drive now. Windows isnt looking too friendly [14:19] eep brb [14:19] tomcheng76, in my .ssh/config I am using nc localhost portnumber. netcat never returns EOF so sshd never quits [14:19] alex_21: No, sorry, edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom [14:19] Markopotomus, you're making this too hard you know :) [14:19] santor, used it long time ago but I think it can provide substanial information especially concerning the installed hardware [14:19] Markopotomus, install windows on a partition on the driver, then install Ubuntu, and it will dualboot nicely [14:20] yep, but i think he has them installed on different drives etc hehehe.. the ubuntu installer goes a bit nuts then [14:20] alex_21: Modify the line: GraphicalTheme= and write the name after = osx-login. So the right entry will be: GraphicalTheme=osx-login [14:20] Hi there, how do i find out what files a specific package installs from the command line? (I can check in synaptic, but I'd like a way to check from the command line) [14:20] (so I can grep it) [14:21] hwilde i used a script to manage my reverse tunnel, let me find it out :) [14:21] AlexMax: try using aptitude [14:21] matic thanks, i'll check that out [14:21] hwilde: i had a lot better results with the debian installer when it comes to using many drives in one machine with many different partitions and multiple os's [14:21] lfaraone: I have checked aptitude and it doesn't appear to list any specific files [14:21] or rather, have a command for doing so [14:21] AlexMax: hm... [14:21] tomcheng76, don't bother I already have one of those [14:21] AlexMax: aptitude show packagename [14:22] matic, it5s nto working, but the man page says its for voltages and temperatures [14:22] Can anyone help me figure out why ubiquity keeps crashing when I try to install? I've tried Ibex and Hardy both fail after "Configuring mythtv" at about 83%, even after I turned all the options off. I ran it from terminal, and it complains about something to do with the pixmaps, but that is when I start it not at the end. [14:22] what is the location and how is the file called that stores the commands i put into terminal? [14:22] snek: So it's a command line param. Thanks [14:23] alexmax: yep, you're welcome :) [14:23] hi guys, how do we know how many programs available in ubuntu repositories? === Fougner|Zzzz is now known as Fougner [14:23] ari_stress, synaptic [14:23] snek: Hrm, aptitude show only gives me details, not a file list [14:24] thanks hwilde, i see 26228 packages, nice! [14:25] AlexMax: hmm you mean the actual packages it WILL install, or just the required packages? [14:25] norbert79, alex_21, there might not be a setting for GraphicalTheme= there already. If there isn't (correct me if I'm wrong), it should go under the [gui] section [14:25] hi [14:25] snek: I want to know the actual files that the package installs [14:26] that line isn't in there [14:26] hwilde: i can't help you then, sorry about that [14:26] AlexMax: ok I am not sure how to show that [14:26] AlexMax: Download the deb package and read the dependencies list [14:27] alex_21, I think you can just add it under the [gui] section [14:27] Fazavon: an aptitude show also shows the dependecies ;) [14:27] Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libncurses5 (>= 5.6+20071006-3) [14:27] tomcheng76, do you mind pm I want to go over how I have the .ssh/config [14:27] snek that works too [14:27] Synaptic can show it in one of its tabs [14:27] hmm let me check that [14:28] i just wanted a way to see it from the command line [14:28] thanks for your help though =) [14:28] aha synaptic only shows it for installed applications.. (i never use it, only aptitude) [14:29] hwilde i affraid i cant help you because i just use the script to make a persistent reverse tunnel and i never that sshds leftover problem, sorry i am not a ssh expert :) [14:29] Somebody so minimal does not know a surface, on which there is start, menu? (approximately 100 mbre I count) [14:29] hi all. i am having freezing issues with intrepid 64bit. i've upgraded to the latest proposed kernel, disabled networkmanager, tried killing the pulseaudio process but still get freezes [14:30] what is the command of the File Browser of linux? [14:30] Hi guys, if there's anyone who is well versed in ISCSI (open-iscsi specifically) and Apache if they could give me a hand with an issue I'm having. I posted on the forums at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=999192 Thanks! [14:30] Vinceman: nautilus [14:30] in that respect, how do you find out the command of some link you just clicked on in linux? [14:31] inordkuo: how random are these freezes? [14:31] I have the older gdm.conf filethat line isn't in there [14:31] I'll be back [14:31] AlexMax: dpkg -L packageNamle lists all files in an installed package [14:32] aldarsior: actually they seem to occur more when i am recording tv to an ntfs drive but i read that ntfs-3g should never cause freezing [14:32] it's dual booted with xp [14:32] hi everybody. How can I make the sound card work again? [14:32] Delvien? how do you find out the command of some link you just clicked on in linux? [14:32] Vinceman: if you right click on the menu and hit "edit menu" and then select an item and hit properties, it will tell you what the command is [14:33] okok [14:33] anybody here an ssh port forwarding expert? I have all these leftover sshds... helppp [14:33] hwilde: wassup?

[14:33] Somebody so minimal does not know a surface, on which there is start, menu? (approximately 100 mbre I count) [14:33] hwilde: You should actually explain your problem in detail. [14:33] MIki2: I can't parse your question. [14:34] werdnum, ok but if you don't know anything about ssh or port forwarding you can't help me [14:34] hwilde: kill them all, god will know his own. [14:34] juancabrito: you're going to have to be more specific than that. [14:34] hwilde: I know a thing or two. [14:34] <[visage]> Okay, an update to my issue: I get this when running alacarte: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79327/ [14:34] hi everybody [14:34] hi dude [14:35] juancabrito: check your mixers. right click on the volume widget and hit "open volume control" [14:35] hmmm [14:35] werdnum: I've installed VMWare for a virtual machine to work, then I lost the sound in Ubuntu, but it works in the guest (Windows)... [14:35] where would i find backports from 810 to 804? [14:35] werdnum, ok so on my remote server is behind a firewall, but it can get out, so it establishes a reverse tunnel with this command: "ssh -N -R 9933:localhost:22 myserver" then on myserver in the .ssh/config I use " ProxyCommand nc -w5 localhost 9933" the problem is if the connection dies, nc never returns EOF, so the sshd never dies [14:35] can i have usb web cam for ubuntu [14:35] aldarsior: I did that [14:36] how [14:36] mardy_, isntall cheese from synatptic [14:36] !info cheese [14:36] cheese (source: cheese): A tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam.

[14:37] aldarisor: i'm not 100% sure but i seem to remember one time when i was idle that it froze with the blinking caps lock light. btw it's my brother's machine and i'm trying to convert him from xp (beyond tv) to linux ubuntu with mythv and we're several states apart. [14:37] I've done the same kinda thing, and I used ssh -FTNR 7022:127.0.0.1:22 [14:37] werdnum, umm that takes your traffic and sends it to that port? === cexpert1 is now known as TBotNik [14:37] cedri i have installed chese [14:37] hwilde: basically i modified the script from here [14:37] http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/ssh_tunnelling.html [14:37] hwilde: Not sure you need that, ssh is supposed to do that for you.

I need to map it to a hostname [14:38] aldarsior: I went to System > Preferences > Sound preferences, but all I can see are some drop down lists, all set to "ALSA...something" [14:38] hwilde: I haven't put any ProxyCommand there at all. [14:38] The entirety of my setup is the ssh -FTNR 7022:localhost:22 andrew@werdn.us [14:39] mardy_, so your issue is regarding USB web cam... Not sure how to help you. Try to run command dmesg, connect the cam and see the output of that command [14:39] newfeats: try /join #xubuntu [14:39] hwile: that one kill ssh if there is not connection running in the remote host [14:39] werdnum, ok... but I need to say on my local server "ssh HB-33-1" and right now I have the .ssh/config change that to Proxycommand nc localhost 9933. From a command line I can say ssh localhost -p 9933 and it works, but I need a hostname mapped to that [14:39] hi everybody. How can I make the sound card work again? I've installed VMWare for a virtual machine to work, then I lost the sound in Ubuntu, but it works in the guest (Windows)... [14:40] hwilde: oh, I see what you want [14:40] juancabrito: so strange :) [14:40] go into your ssh config, and add: [14:40] with this chatting can i open my web cam [14:40] Host [14:40] werdnum, yes I need to say "ssh HB-33-1" and have it to "ssh localhost -p 9933" [14:40] HostName localhost [14:40] Port 9933 [14:40] and you're done :) [14:40] ari_stress: :( [14:40] tomcheng76: the hd is a 200gb maxtor but it's dual booted w xp and never freezes in windows. i know it's not solid proof that it's not a hardware issue but it makes me lean towards it being software. [14:41] juancabrito: I don't really know how vmware deals with this sort of thing, apparently it took control of your hardware [14:41] Though I have selected "Auto-select dependencies" in aptoncd, it doesn't automatically select the dependencies for packages I select? Any help? [14:41] That's what I have in my /etc/ssh/ssh_config [14:41] juancabrito: how about disabling the sound in the vm? [14:41] juancabrito: do you have the vmware Workstation thing or the vmware player thing? [14:41] juancabrito: i've never use sound in the vm [14:41] werdnum, ah I think that looks good [14:41] ari_stress: It didn't work [14:41] aldarsior: player [14:41] hwilde: works? :) [14:42] * Markopotomus is back [14:42] juancabrito: if you had the workstation thing you could call vmware and whine [14:42] anybody help me to connect my usb web cam with this chat [14:42] sorry... [14:42] juancabrito: edit the vm setting, and remove the sound card hardware [14:42] Can someone test for me how much time does it take autoplay on nautilus for music files when you put the cursor over the file? [14:42] werdnum, nice where di you find that? is there a .ssh/config man page or something [14:42] which package contains the man pages for socket(2) connect(2) getaddrinfo(2) etc [14:42] mardy_: You need to be way more specific. We've given you links to documentation, and you haven't indicated at all that you've read it. [14:42] hwilde: man ssh_config [14:42] any aptoncd user here? [14:43] ari_stress: I can't, I need sound in both systems [14:43] http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config [14:43] chandru_in, yeah.. [14:43] juancabrito: if I were you I'd call vmware and whine [14:43] k thank u [14:43] cedriczg: bout 3sec for me [14:43] let me see what happened [14:43] vignesh: can you help with my problem? [14:43] How do I edit my "bookmarks" (places menu) ? [14:43] tell them you were seriously considering ESX server but now that their shit is breaking your desktops, you don't think you want it anymore [14:43] IndyGunFreak, about 9sec for me :( . Not sure what can be the issue [14:44] cedriczg: hmm, that is weird [14:44] inordkuo: what does "/var/log/syslog" look like after the system freezing ? [14:44] IndyGunFreak, I did reinstall totem and nothing [14:44] !postgre [14:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about postgre [14:44] snek: I'm back. My plan now is to rebuild the mbr on the ide drive (which I seem to have damaged) and then disconnect the ide drives while reinstalling ubuntu on the SATA drive. [14:44] !postgresql [14:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about postgresql [14:44] cedriczg: are you talking abou just mousing overi t, or actually opening the file? [14:44] !postgress [14:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about postgress [14:44] chandru_in, yeah whats it ? [14:44] IndyGunFreak, about mouse over. But actually playing the file on totem is also slow now [14:45] Though I have selected "Auto-select dependencies" in aptoncd, it doesn't automatically select the dependencies for packages I select [14:45] cedriczg: dunno, maybe try audacious [14:45] ndo: please play with the bot in "/msg ubotu " or in #ubuntu-bots [14:45] IndyGunFreak, How do you change your default program for autoplay? I know how to choose for opening but not sure it is same for autoplay [14:46] hi what if i apply 512+256mb ram with my ubuntu will it be fine? [14:46] cedriczg: not really sure on that .. [14:46] Markopotomus: yes that sounds like a good plan [14:46] somewhere: where? [14:46] lfaraone: play? :) i wasn really playing. But anyway ty ;) [14:46] cedriczg: Home Folder => View => Preference => Media [14:46] how can you access stuff on disks not in the ubuntu format? [14:46] IndyGunFreak, thanks. Now I know I have an issue to solve ;) [14:46] snek: *gets on with it* :) [14:46] guys i cannot upload any pics on any website! [14:46] how to know my processor and ram ? [14:47] Vinceman: what format? Are these internal disks? [14:47] in ubuntu [14:47] jrib yes [14:47] Markopotomus: you can dualboot from the Grub menu to Windows by the way [14:47] Vinceman: what format? [14:47] I saw with fdisk that there's other format [14:47] tomcheng76: i will take a look there when he gets the machine back online. it's frozen at the moment. it's my brother's machine and he's at work. my next move is to have him format the drive as jfs. is it true that writing to ntfs should not cause a system freeze? [14:47] jraib [14:47] guys can somebody help me please i am unable to upload any pics on any website [14:48] Markopotomus: it's not very hard to do from what i remember.. although i don't dualboot anymore so i can't check what it was.. but it's as easy as adding a line to /boot/grub/menu.lst [14:48] jrib: how to know my ram? [14:48] jrib: it says "Extended" and "Linux swap Solaris" [14:48] khalid: free -m [14:48] vignesh: Any help? [14:48] tomcheng76, I think you are talking about when you insert a new media. I was talking about autoplay while mouse over on music files in nautilus [14:48] Vinceman: well if it is really swap, then you don't want to use it... [14:48] snek: ok, cool. The PATA/SATA thing seems to be a cause of grief though [14:48] inordkro, i have a ntfs partition with thousand of music in it :) subdirectory etc [14:48] let us begin this session of chatting by standing up and declaring ourself dependable of the linux operating system [14:49] jrib: thanks :D and how to know processor? [14:49] unable to upload pics on any website [14:49] Markopotomus: yep, hope you get it working the way you want.. these mbr problems are a real pain in the ass :) [14:49] khalid: cat /proc/cpuinfo or lshw I guess [14:49] jrib, but the Extended, I oughta be able to reach that, no? [14:49] chandru_in, sorry i lost my connection in between.. can you please re post your problem ? [14:49] cedriczg: i am not sure can u do that or not... [14:49] tomcheng76: so then maybe i should just have him install the 32bit version instead of 64bit [14:50] snek: well Im on the cause with Hirens boot CD so I'll either detonate the whole of London or will somehow fix it. [14:50] Vinceman: extended is just that. An extended partition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning#Extended [14:50] Markopotomus: lol, maybe i can see the mushroom cloud from here then (the Hague, Netherlands) :P [14:51] tomcheng76, While you are on nautilus, you mouse over a music file for some secs and you should start hearing the music file. For me now it takes 9 sec for autoplay. But it should be 3secs I think [14:51] snek: hehehe [14:51] inordkuo: u may try that but i dont see any movition to do that except java plugin on firefox :) [14:52] btw people i'm happy to say i got my X-Fi working under Intrepid with no problems! [14:52] jrib how do you know how many logical drives your extended partition has and how do you access them? [14:52] although it lacks most features, it does play sound haha [14:52] tomcheng76, And I think it is related with the fact that totem is taking too much to start playing when I open the music file [14:52] Vinceman: you can look at them in gparted [14:52] Hello again, have troubles with 8.10/Compiz/NVidia6200, Window-borders are ugly rendered if window is selected and i move my mousepointer over "minimize" or maximize button on the top window border: http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=bildschirmfotogxmi.png [14:53] Vinceman: as for your second question, you mount them. You need to provide more details about the filesystem if you want more details [14:53] DaHopi: i have the same problem hmmm [14:53] DaHopi: i actually stopped using compiz because of that, it really started to bug the hell out of me [14:53] vignesh: Though I have selected "Auto-select dependencies" in aptoncd, it doesn't automatically select the dependencies for packages I select [14:53] cedriczg: how about changing the default player? i suggest mplayer :) [14:54] jrib, I gave you what fdisk gave me [14:54] snek: ^^ [14:54] tomcheng76: i have 4 machines running intrepid w no problems however, i've read others having freezing issues with intrepid. i see pulseaudio erros in /var/log/messages on the freezing machine which others with freezing issues in intrepid have mentioned as well. what do you suggest? [14:54] how can i safely renew the ip address of a machine remotely? [14:54] Vinceman: yes, didn't I address that? [14:54] snek: Ah! hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Now I have a choice. Hirens bootCD has fixed the WIndows MBR error so, my setup is now like this; I have the boot record + XP working on an IDE drive, I have Ubuntu working on a sata drive... so maybe there's no problem? I could just leave it as it is? [14:54] snek: NVidia? [14:54] can somebody please help me!!! im unable to upload pictures on any website [14:55] inordkuo: uninstall pulseaudio and use alsa directly :) [14:55] chandru_in, try reinstalling it.. [14:55] Markopotomus: that sounds pretty good.. if you can make the sata partition automatically boot you could add that line to /boot/grub/menu.lst to select windows too [14:55] vignesh: :( ok will try [14:55] tomcheng76, that's the detail. I can choose the open by default. But not sure how to change the program for autoplay music files [14:56] how can i find out if i'm running hardy or intrepid? [14:56] !version | Dreamer3 [14:56] Dreamer3: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [14:56] snek: the only thing I'm worried about is whether my partition structure on the sata drive is nuts (2gigs for /boot, 30 gigs for /, 4 gigs for swap, 80 gigs for /home, 280 gigs unused (used in windows) [14:56] somebody please help me [14:56] !helpme | transporter [14:56] transporter: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [14:56] hmmm [14:56] cedriczg: how do u know intrepid use totem for music file preview ? [14:56] i don't have a lsd_release binary [14:56] Dreamer3, system - adm - system monitor [14:57] Markopotomus: i can't help you with that, i'm a linux partition nub and just use 1 partition for / and 1 for swap :P [14:57] Dreamer3: lsb_release.. not the drug.. Linux Standard Base [14:57] tomcheng76: i will give that a shot. although before the last freeze, i went into the system monitor and killed the pulseaudio process but it still froze after 15 minutes or so. do you think uninstalling pulseaudio completely will still help? [14:57] unable to upload pictures on any webiste [14:57] uh ok [14:57] sladen: where is that? [14:57] Slart: where is that [14:57] Vinceman: do you know how your disk is partitioned? It sounds like you just have swap as a logical partition [14:57] snek: I dont think I could make the sata drive automatically boot without reinstalling ubuntu on it with the ide drives disabled.

Can i use the ubuntu live cd (8.10) to boot a linux which is in /dev/hda4 ? [16:33] i can't figure the correct input to the boot prompt [16:34] fasta: The whole point of iceweasel was to get around branding restrictions caused by Debian's refusal to package Firefox without updates unapproved by Mozilla. Ubuntu complies with Mozilla's update/branding policy, so it doesn't need Iceweasel. [16:34] I've got a bit of a problem installing ubuntu, and I've exhausted the internet to all of its resources [16:34] lefix: okay - dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep 2.6.27 | grep generic | grep image what does that say? [16:34] rww: the whole point was that Debian wanted to improve some stuff. [16:34] it's a bit of a long story, but my main problem is that the install program is segfaulting [16:34] rww: then the Mozilla guys said: fine, but you need to rebrand it. [16:35] rww: so, why doesn't Ubuntu have the same improvements? [16:35] fasta: no, it was a licensing issue. [16:35] fasta: If you look back at the discussion when it happened, it wasn't about improving anything. That came later.

[16:36] fasta, rww: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_conflict_between_Debian_and_Mozilla [16:36] fasta: Firstly, Mozilla got mad at Debian for unapproved packaging. Debian then turned around and decided that the branding policy was non-dfsg free. Then, we ended up with Iceweasel. Any customization or improvement of Iceweasel over Firefox came later. [16:36] rww: The Mozilla guys were afraid of getting a bad name in theory and legally that they were afraid of losing the brand. [16:36] long story short what i've done so far is download initrd.tar.gz and linux (the kernel) from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/ [16:36] rww: anyone could call something Firefox.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [16:51] !network manager | le1 [16:51] le1: networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [16:51] lefix: sorry, wrong recipient [16:51] le1: the two monitors; click to see your wireless-connections [16:51] spiderzz: I tried following the PulseAudio troubleshooting guide, but the problem seems to be with the device, not PA. [16:51] Gnea kk ^^ look here -> http://pastebin.com/dba64a68 [16:52] i have my sound working and my video is recognised but my video is not working optimally [16:52] cjuba: http://markmail.org/message/xhgrees5wkwhex23 <- same problem, no solution [16:52] i have an intel 3945abg wireless network card that can view my wireless network. when i try to connect to it with wpa-wpa2 security, it fails to connect to my dlink wireless AP - can anybody help me with this problem? [16:52] fasta: oh.. okay.. Sorry; i've got no idea :-( [16:52] lefix: okay, try sudo apt-get -f install again [16:52] cjuba: and another one: http://www.mail-archive.com/newbie@linux-mandrake.com/msg70008.html [16:52] fasta: since konqueror is a kubuntu package, maybe try asking #kubuntu? [16:53] spiderzz: My volume control bitches about there not being any sound card, PulseAudio can't find any devices and X complains about failing to recognise either sound or video cards. [16:53] From 2001 o.O [16:53] Am I able to burn Ubuntu Studio on a CD? [16:53] I just downloaded some ati drivers and the file suffix is .run ... what am I supposed to do with it? [16:53] Markopotomus: run it? [16:53] frxstrem: do you have a cd burner? [16:54] frxstream: no; burn it on dvd [16:54] lol [16:54] yes [16:54] -a :D [16:54] pluma: Yes, I'd have thought so... any idea how? [16:54] frxstrem: does it burn dvds too? [16:54] Markopotomus: I'd guess they're binaries, so you make them executable (+x) and then run them. [16:54] no [16:54] hi, everytime I reboot my machine X0rg tells me it's running in low graphics mode, I configure it properly and next time it does it again, any idea as to what it might be? must say I changed the display from "default" to the correct monitor model in the list of available ones. xorg.conf.failsafe seems to generate a new default xorg.conf on each reboot [16:54] Err scripts, i mean. [16:54] frxstrem: there is your answer. [16:54] ok... [16:54] pluma: sorry, I'm still not with you. How'd I do that? [16:54] Gne the same, error code (1) should i pastebin it? [16:55] frxstrem: Ubuntu Studio only releases DVD images, not CD images, so no. [16:55] Markopotomus: Right click, properties, make executable. [16:55] Markopotomus: in the Permissions tab [16:55] lefix: no. open the Sources back up and also check Unsupported updates (intrepid-backports) [16:55] Hey, I'm using the latest version of Ubuntu and try to set up some kind of network-bridge between the WLAN and the XP-Box near the Ubuntu-Box. After reading the Manuals and everything I found I'm still not able to manage it. Someone can guide me through the steps? thx [16:56] Markopotomus: or from the commandline chmod +x (no brackets) [16:56] frxstrem: it's entirely possible that they have a CD spin somewhere I'm not seeing... I guess you could go ask them in #ubuntustudio [16:56] Gnea ok and now sudo apt-get -f install ???? [16:56] pluma ok - I dont actually see a "make executable" command in the Permissions tab. Just access options [16:56] Markopotomus: It's not called that. [16:56] pluma: or... no, yes I do. [16:57] pluma: "allow executing file as program" [16:57] Markopotomus: exactly. [16:57] lefix: make sure you sudo apt-get update first === zer0 is now known as Guest14664 [16:57] pluma: *does so* [16:57] Markopotomus: Now you should be able to run it. [16:58] Gnea doesnt work error code (1) [16:58] pluma. It says I need to run it as a super user, but doesnt give me an option to enter a root password. I guess that means I have to do it from the command line anyway? [16:58] !sudo | Markopotomus [16:58] Markopotomus: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesudo (KDE) [16:58] Markopotomus: I'd guess so. [16:58] Gnea i sudo apt-get update first than sudo apt-get -f install [16:59] lefix: okay, try to install the -10 kernel image [16:59] Markopotomus: Unless there's a right-click option for files "Open as administrator" like there is for directories. [16:59] what is best proxy for ubuntu 8.10?? [16:59] !best | shiMMer [16:59] shiMMer: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [16:59] guys Ubuntu 8.04 is an LTS right? how long is it supported? how long are LTS releases supported? [16:59] !lts | aminh [16:59] aminh: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [16:59] sudo su << will make you root..so u dont have to type sudo evry time... type exit to become regular user [16:59] Is there a way to DOWNgrade from 8.10 to 8.04 LTS? 8.10 kinda shot down half my system. [16:59] pluma: rww: there we go :) [17:00] pluma: no [17:00] rww: what is the interval between LTS releases? is that 5 years for servers too? [17:00] sanyam: please do not advocate that. sudo -i is preferable. [17:00] rww: is there a way to stop it from not working correctly then? My audio and video card both are "unrecognised" and I have no idea how to go about fixing that. [17:00] need to get ip scanner for ubuntu 8.10 [17:01] pluma have you done the updates for the os yet [17:01] Gnea: agreed, I was just telling if he finds it convenient [17:01] since the last kernel update, ubuntu doesn't shut down my laptop, but hibernates instead, and grub tries to resume the session each time, but fails, and boots from scratch, how can i fix this unwanted hibernation? [17:01] aminh: The first LTS was 6.06, the next was 8.04. I forget what the next one is going to be, but it should be sometime less than 3 years after Hardy came out. [17:01] can angry ip scanner work on ubuntu 8.10?? [17:02] spiderzz: EVERY update, yes. And unlike with 8.04, 8.10 fails to recognise my sound and video cards, throwing me into failsafe. [17:02] shiMMer: no, only polite ip scanners work with ubuntu 8.10. [17:02] i wanna use rsync in such a way that everytime i run it, only new files are downloaded from source (remote machine) to destination machine (my machine) while the old files remain untouched. What parameter should I give to rsync? [17:02] "polite" ????u mean?? [17:02] aminh: oh, there it is http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/146 , next LTS is 10.04 [17:03] Hi I recently removed gdm and ubuntu-desktop and removed the links from init to start gdm automatically. Now I have kubuntu-desktop and kdm and would like to start it automatically on boot. Currently the only way i know of starting it is 'sudo startkde'. could anyone tell me a better alternative? thanks. [17:03] shiMMer: I believe that was what is known as a joke [17:03] rww: So it's probably safe to assume as LTS means 3 years of support that their schedule for creating LTSs is 2 years then? [17:03] shiMMer: what kind of a 'proxy' are you looking for? [17:03] rww: i.e. every 4th release is LTS [17:03] pluma: looks that way, yes [17:04] any..i need to be anonymous surfer.. [17:04] Hey, I'm using the latest version of Ubuntu and try to set up some kind of network-bridge between the WLAN and the XP-Box near the Ubuntu-Box. After reading the Manuals and everything I found I'm still not able to manage it. Someone can guide me through the steps? thx [17:04] anyone knows how to install MPlayer in ubuntu 8.04? I cant find in the repositories and I running the livecd [17:04] shiMMer: we don't handle those here. please /join #freenode and ask there.

[17:05] lefix: pastebin? [17:05] shiMMer: to stop your hostname from showing up on Freenode, ask in #freenode for a cloak [17:05] i got problem with firefox on my ubuntu 8.10 [17:05] spiderzz: That's kinda the point of sudo'ing. That it asks you for a password instead of letting you log in as root and wreak havock. [17:05] dissociative: this is your error message? [17:05] how can i get kdm to start automatically on boot? [17:05] spiderzz: I answered this yesterday, let me go find what I wrote [17:06] hi guys, i need a dbus.deb package for 8.10 can you advise where to download it? thanks [17:06] sda00: you didn't find one in the repository?

They've been working since 6.06 and 8.10 fails to recognise either. [17:07] greencookie: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm, I think.

[17:46] Myrtti, I've got a collection of SIMs and happy to provide the information out of my wvdial.conf :) [17:46] Jack_Sparrow: I think he was trying to say he _installed_ 8.10, not that he was going to do it.

[17:53] MiladKhajavi: You'll need to do it from an Ubuntu machine. The only way to make an apt mirror and keep it reasonably up to date is using programs that only run on Linux. [17:53] tomcheng76 I agree..

Didn't read that you want to do it Windows [17:54] MiladKhajavi: You could theoretically grab the entire contents of http://ir.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ if that isn't an option, I guess [17:54] what is the program named that copies Livecd to an usb flashdrive?

[17:56] rww he wants the current mirror image closer, updates can still be done over the net [17:56] MiladKhajavi: If you care, here's a python script that does the same as apt-mirror in the last post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=335421 [17:57] pluma: let me to check it [17:57] Jack_Sparrow: from what I read, he wants "All repository". I'd recommend he just grab the install CD and make a few dozen copies of it, but he doesn't seem to just want to install locally. [17:57] rww: I want interpix and i386 not all of them [17:57] ? [17:57] hey guys, i'm having big issues with Ubuntu Server. It just randomly crashes after a couple of hours: no errors in /var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog or /var/log/kern.log. It occured on Hardy, and now on an upgrade of Intrepid (which I did to try and fix the problem). Its an old box, with little RAM, but I wouldn't expect that to cause it to become unresponsive when doing very little ...any ideas? [17:58] MiladKhajavi: Do you need to have a copy of updates locally, or do you just need enough to get Intrepid installed and can then download updates from the web? [17:58] MiladKhajavi: You'd have to install a python interpreter first, of course, but the thread/script seems relevant. [17:58] what do i download to change my volume from the systray? [17:58] rww that alt would only have main.. he wants something like ftp://kambing.ui.edu/pub/ubuntu-repository/ [17:59] Jack_Sparrow: you mean, like http://ir.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ , which I linked to him 5 minutes ago? [17:59] rww No not at all. [17:59] rww see the link I gave it is the 5 or 6 dvd set [17:59] rww: why dont download security-updates from ftp, make cds and use apt-cdrom? [18:00] can u change volume from the systray and if so how? [18:00] Jack_Sparrow: oh, sorry, my mistake. I was mislead by the URL [18:00] rww: another issue that I have is when I start to download them it take a week, in this week does package dependency are going to be change? [18:01] MiladKhajavi: please answer the question I just asked you: [18:01] MiladKhajavi: Do you need to have a copy of updates locally, or do you just need enough to get Intrepid installed and can then download updates from the web? [18:01] np as long as you see the diff. the can save a ton of bandwidth with those dvd's locally [18:01] please tell me about folding@home and how can i do it with my old server [18:01] After doing: keychain ~/.ssh/id_rsa; my SSH login still prompts for my password? [18:01] This is driving me insane [18:01] rww: He already said he wants to download them so he can give them to others because their connections are too slow. [18:01] All I want is a passwordless login so I can use automated SSH sessions [18:02] cenubis: google for "ssh public key authentication" [18:02] that's what u want [18:02] I did, I followed the steps and it still prompts me for my password [18:02] how to set up screen resolution on Ubuntu 8.10?

[18:03] MiladKhajavi unlikely that many dependencies will change while you are downloading anything [18:03] you have to generate a public key on the client, copy it to the host in .ssh/authorized_keys AND SET IT 600 (chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys) [18:03] Jack_Sparrow: okay then, he wants updates. DVDs ain't gonna work. [18:03] I can choose just 800x600 from the menu :( [18:03] rww dvd's are exactly what he is asking for..

[18:09] does it meen that dpkg-reconfigure doesn't save the changes in /etc/X11/ conf file? [18:09] Jack_Sparrow: uhum [18:09] how do i change so conky doesnt cover the icons so to speak?

[19:20] brainzcan: what exactly do you mean by "system management"? [19:20] anyone know how to install ati radeon 1650 pro graphics card on hardy? [19:20] system monitor [19:20] hello [19:20] !hosts [19:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about hosts [19:20] how do you change hostname [19:21] !hostname [19:21] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [19:21] i need help, i want to configure a linuxmail.org in my piggin client [19:21] pidgin* [19:21] chainoo: pidgin is not a mail client [19:21] Dr_Willis64: recursively from whatever directory i start in? i guesss i can try it out in a sub directory before using it on ~ [19:21] l7, yes.. :) be carefull with it. [19:21] prahal_, relevant part : http://pastebin.com/da3c8c8a [19:22] Dr_Willis64: what could go wrong though? [19:22] so it looks like the right module isn't loaded [19:22] i need a chat email, like a hotmail, [19:22] aside from using it outside of ~ and messing up stuff systemwide maybe [19:22] l7, changing the dirs from / as root.. could goof things up in /tmp and so forth.. [19:22] nibsa1242b, unpaper [19:22] ah yeah [19:22] brainzcan: ah. There isn't one built into gnome. You could use something like xbindkeys if you really need one. [19:22] l7, as a user.. proberly not much. i doubt if your user has any 777 dirs [19:22] #ubuntu-es [19:22] i do [19:23] mv keeps saying "can't move 'directory' to /usr/share/ - directory not empty [19:23] brainzcan: take a look in your favorite search engine for web pages about xbindkeys in Ubuntu, then. I haven't used it, but it looks like what you need. [19:24] rlt: thanks anything at this point, if i have to restart my box again I swear i will go back to windows [19:24] rlt: back on KDE [19:25] How do I make my laptop shut down ALWAYS when I close the lid? It is pretty ridiculous that if I have Transmission or VLC open, they by default prevent the computer going to sleep. i just pulled a molten laptop out of my bag. [19:25] rlt: so you are right it's kde4.1 but.... [19:25] I read the wifi docs but I am still getting no scan results with iwlist [19:25] hello [19:25] when I run KDevelop and do help->About KDE the version reported is 3.5.10 [19:25] i have problem with mrtg any body help me? plis prv [19:26] Ok. Crazy question. Is there a way (preferably easy), to unrar every file within a directory? I'd likely have to use recursive to ensure it searches through sub directories. [19:26] brad__: not sure why that is. Might wanna ask in #kubuntu, they deal more with KDE apps and packaging [19:26] hi all [19:27] brad__: looks like kdevelop in the repos is version 3.5.3, though, which might have something to do with it. [19:27] witan [19:27] witam [19:28] rlt: thanks dude, you've been a big help... I'll wander over and ask the kubuntu folks [19:28] I'm sure it is possible to do, how can I make a "folder" that will just be a portal to another folder somewhere else. So if I save something in the link folder, it will appear in the real folder, and so if i change something in the real folder, it will be changed in the symbolic folder, Thanks [19:29] Jophish: you'd use a "symbolic link". Usual way of doing it is ln -s realfolder linkfolder, or Ctrl-Shift-drag in GNOME file manager [19:30] Are there any good apps out there for doing a batch conversion of .jpg to .bmp? [19:30] ok, so I control shift drag the real folder, to where I want the link to be? [19:30] Jophish: yes [19:30] solo [19:30] I seem to have installed ubuntu without installing X. Any help on getting started? === chandra is now known as Guest46578 [19:30] bobthemil: install the ubuntu-desktop package if you want X and Gnome [19:31] k [19:31] I'll see if there's anything else I need after that [19:31] hey, im looking for a command to totally format my computer [19:31] KaZeR, http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2011661#p2011661 it is in french but the commands to apply are universal (it seems one need ubuntu 8.10 and to download and install alsa 1.0.17 [19:31] Lava: download Darik's Boot and Nuke [19:32] Lava: or some sort of CD with DBAN [19:32] Lava: http://www.dban.org/ [19:33] Lava: Get the CD image from http://www.dban.org/download , burn it to a CD, and boot from it. [19:33] hmm, sometimes umount takes like 20 sec to unmount a drive.. is this normal? [19:33] rlt: beat you to it =P [19:33] ice_cream: what kind of drive? [19:33] ice_cream: Did you copy files to it while using it? If so, it's probably syncing them to the drive. [19:33] network share [19:34] ice_cream: but yeah, especially over a network, that's normal [19:34] thx bustaplz & rlt [19:34] say i had a network share mounted, and restarted that computer while accessing the locally mounted dir [19:34] ice_cream: 20 seconds is a bit long, but mounting network shares can take a bit for me [19:34] Lava: not a problem [19:34] Lava: happy to help [19:35] all this mess just because i cant boot hardy no more... :( [19:35] hi [19:35] so what happens is that any ls or df kinda hangs [19:35] im getting very high cpu sys usage on my 8.10, any idea? [19:35] anyone know how to install ati radeon 1650 pro graphics card on hardy? [19:35] until i umount it, which takes 20+ sec [19:35] Lava: you don't really need DBAN to fix boot issues [19:36] asrael: is it a new install? [19:36] asrael: System > Administration > System Monitor, Processes tab, sort by % CPU and find otu which specific process is causing it [19:36] wtf, don' get it [19:36] asrael: which kernel are you booting from? [19:36] bustaplz, about one month, have been running it w/o any problem it started just now [19:36] cant move those directories [19:36] :'/ [19:36] bustaplz, i have tried for hours to fix hardy, running feisty now [19:36] apfelkuchen, default [19:36] asrael: if you're running LAMP, check that first [19:36] 2.6.27-7-server [19:36] bustaplz, even reinstalled it, but it is still messed up [19:36] Lava: oh. You don't need DBAN to just format to reinstall. DBAN is more for formatting prior to selling a hard-drive so all the data that was on it is unrecoverable [19:37] Lava: what kind of messed up? [19:37] Lava: I mean, you could use DBAN for reinstalling, but there's quicker ways of doing it =/ [19:37] bustaplz, i dont get high cpu on any specific running program, but top shows high sy% [19:37] and also high load [19:37] Lava: rlt is right, DBAN is more for secure formatting, if you just want to format for a reinstall using something like gParted is easier [19:38] bustaplz, there were some boot problems, and i tried fixing it with fsck but ever since everything got messed up. i can't even boot it anymore. that is why i thought i just might reinstall from a formatted disk [19:38] Lava: are you having issues with GRUB? [19:38] asrael: what process is showing the highest cpu load? [19:39] utorrent [19:39] bustaplz, i have no idea, how can i tell? [19:39] asrael: how much? [19:39] Lava: do you know what GRUB is? [19:39] 30% === AJC_Z0- is now known as AJC_Z0 [19:39] thats normal, i had that before, but that counts as us% not sy% [19:39] asrael: if you're not currently downloading or seeding, that is too high [19:39] bustaplz, no [19:40] i know, im dling fast [19:40] Lava: GRUB is a bootloader, do you only have Ubuntu installed? [19:40] asrael: any other processes running over 5%? [19:40] hi [19:40] bustaplz, yup [19:40] no, just that [19:41] yo, i'm curious if it's possible to use my laptop's ir port to emulate an IR keyboard to type on a psp? [19:41] asrael right now I have no processes running over 2% cpu, that includes Songbird and Firefox with about 15 tabs open [19:41] i would think it's possible, but i've been searching and reading all morning with no results [19:41] asrael: I would kill utorrent and see what happens [19:41] lappy1: maybe, but you might need some fancy drivers [19:41] ill do that [19:41] or the ability to write your own [19:41] What command do I issue to see a list of swap partitions in use on my system? [19:42] I used my laptop's wireless card to install ubuntu, but now it's not configured (not recognized as eth0). Does anyone know how to configure a wireless card and set it up for DHCP using only a command line? [19:42] rlt: sudo fdisk -l or mount [19:42] Is there a way to apt-get install ocropus (e.g, a way to install it that doesn't require installing tesseract from source?) [19:42] Lava: what happens when you try to boot into Ubuntu? [19:42] Tesseract won't compile for me, so I'm stuck [19:42] bustaplz, depends what version of ubuntu [19:42] bustaplz, i can run feisty, but i cant run hardy [19:43] Lava: what happens when you try to boot Hardy [19:43] Lava: and are you talking about booting into an installed system or just booting the LiveCD? [19:43] ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CHECK IF MY GRAPHICS CARD IS WORKING PROPERLY? [19:43] !caps > david_ [19:43] david_, please see my private message [19:43] sry caps [19:43] i'm totally loving the new eye candy in the 8.10 release on this lappy [19:43] dell 8100* [19:43] What makes ubunto better the say centos?

[19:44] Lava: did you install Hardy? [19:44] Anyone? Is there a way to apt-get install ocropus? [19:44] bustaplz: hmm. I have a swap partition on /dev/sda2 that shows up in fdisk and is in fstab, but doesn't show up on mount. [19:44] hi! [19:44] someone can help me? [19:44] !ask [19:44] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:44] im sure they can [19:44] rlt: if it shows up with fdisk it means it's there but not mounted [19:44] bustaplz, yeah i did. half a year ago [19:44] Lava: oh so it was working [19:45] how can i change my location so i can register for spotify [19:45] swapon [19:45] Lava: are you booting into the GUI? [19:45] lappy1: if you can SSH into your PSP, that might be easier if you want to use the keyboard on it for certain tasks [19:45] bustaplz: that's what I figured. I did sudo swapon /dev/sda2, but it errors with "swapon: /dev/sda2: Device or resource busy" [19:45] stefano, whats your question? [19:45] why do my disks show up as for example /dev/sda in the installer when they are IDE drives? [19:45] rlt: hmmm, thats strange [19:45] my cousin had upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 [19:45] rlt: you may be past my ability to help you =P [19:45] bustaplz: so I did swapoff then swapon, and it didn't error, but it's still not showing up in mount [19:46] now it cant start ubuntu [19:46] bustaplz, yeah it was working. but one day there was a problem when i booted. after i fsck'ed everything got worse. and no, i cant get into the GUI [19:46] rlt: let me look at my swap [19:46] bustaplz: yeah, can you double-check that you see it in mount? [19:46] how do i tell what hidden services are running? [19:46] Lava: and the black screen with the messed up stuff is in terminal? [19:46] kek all drives will show as sd.. [19:46] tnx l7 [19:47] bustaplz, that was the guilty... but i dont understand how, since its been running for a month now, why start giving high sys now. and why not shows as "user" and not "system" [19:47] bustaplz, yep, entire black screen filled with lines about serious errors and stuff [19:47] asrael: running for a month without shutting down? [19:47] Jack_Sparrow: is that some special scsi-emulation of ide drives or is that just the way it is in linux now? [19:47] Lava: you can read these errors? [19:47] kek just the way it is [19:48] rlt: I don't see my swap with mount [19:48] bustaplz, not now no :) [19:48] mitso?? [19:48] bustaplz, maybe once [19:48] kek I am sure you can find detailed info as to why, but it has been that way for awhile [19:48] Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks. [19:48] how can i tell if qemu is actually using kvm? [19:48] Lava: doesn't sound like much of a difficult issue, why can't you boot from the CD? [19:48] bustaplz what is in your fstab [19:48] Jack_Sparrow, been that way since 2006 (when i first started ubuntu) :) [19:48] asrael: try starting uTorrent up again, see if it comes back at that 30% cpu [19:48] bustaplz: Okay. Guess I'm back to my original question, then :) [19:48] because it jams at 11%. but the boot cd is good since i already installed ubuntu with it before [19:49] bustaplz, because it jams at 11%. but the boot cd is good since i already installed ubuntu with it before [19:49] Lava are you trying to install on a Dell or HP.. [19:49] rlt: I see my swap in fdisk, I thought it should show up in mount also but I was wrong =D === mohammed is now known as cheaboi [19:49] how do you register with launchpad? [19:49] Lava: there is a md5 check on the LiveCD, right? [19:49] is it possiable to share a file on ubuntu via network to my other computer which is vista? [19:49] bustaplz, yeah there is.... [19:50] david_: https://launchpad.net/+login [19:50] Lava Some Dell and HP require the disk be burned at a very slow speed.. even if it self tests fine. there can be an issue [19:50] !samba | cheaboi [19:50] Lava: I would run that, make sure the CD is good [19:50] cheaboi: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[19:50] Lava: no, there is a test to make sure the CD isn't corrupt [19:51] bustaplz were you having swapon issues or rtl [19:51] Lava: if it's hanging at install that may be your issue, if it doesn't boot at all you need to re burn it [19:51] bustaplz, but i know for sure the cd is good, since i used the exact same cd before on this pc [19:51] Jack_Sparrow: rlt was having swap issues(i guess they are issues) [19:51] Jack_Sparrow: I think it was less "swapon issues" and more bustaplz and I being wrong about whether mount lists swap partitions [19:51] Lava: how long ago [19:52] Jack_Sparrow: rlt is right, I was just trying to help him compare to my system [19:52] Jack_Sparrow: because my system works and he seems to be having issues [19:52] k [19:52] Lava: If you can't boot from your Hardy CD formatting your drive won't change that [19:52] bustaplz, humz about six months [19:53] aha ok, so what should i do === [baddog] is now known as baddog [19:53] Lava: it sounds like the disk got scratched or went bad [19:53] Lava: I would just re-burn the iso, or burn the latest iso [19:53] i blew my grub config by reinstalling windows. i have my linux operating system root installed on /dev/sdb2. i start up on the ubuntu 8.10 install cd, mount /dev/sdb2 on /media/disk, and run "sudo grub-install root=/media/disk /dev/sdb2", looks normal, but when i restart, windows comes up as usual. what am i doing wrong?

Cable modem? DSL modem? Telephone line? [20:29] paul68, you can overwrite that windows partition and use it.

[20:32] paul68 note that the uuid will change and require some manual rework [20:32] !uuid [20:32] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [20:32] anakln, it's in /media/cdrom usually [20:32] you have got to be kidding me [20:32] hwilde cant open pastebin sry [20:32] lefix, sudo apt-get install pastebinit [20:32] anakln: The log file will give you some messages that will say where it's mounting the CD (assuming you have automount enabled).

PS this exact line worked fine when I used smbfs instead of cifs... [20:34] ok fine [20:34] le1: Um.... that doesn't make sense. [20:35] hey whats the command to delete stuff please? [20:35] melnik, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [20:35] le1: the modem should connect only telephone line and USB and power. It should not connect to the router.

Telephone line is four pins, ethernet is eight (well, not pins. Little sliders. The plug looks very similar between the two, but phone is narrower and ethernet is wider.)

[20:44] cccharles: either way [20:44] did that Zz, thnx [20:44] i am in ubuntu :S [20:44] maybe he does not have a skills to help. [20:44] barcode: try picasa from google if you are ok with a close source program [20:44] 8.04 ubuntu [20:44] jhamlin: can you browse the files with smbclient on the command line as a regular user? [20:44] le1: OK. Let's trace wires.... is the wire _from the wall_ 8-pin (RJ45 ethernet) or 4-pin (RJ11 POTS) [20:45] cccharles: from konqueror I can browse no problem [20:45] hwilde but i dont understand, why my system schoudln't be upgradet correctly, becaus i didn't upgrade it. Ubuntu 8.10 was the first system on this pc [20:45] Jack_Sparrow: pff that didn't work [20:45] lefix, ok so your problem is you are running 2.6.27-7 kernel. and half of your upgrades reference linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-9-generic but the other half reference linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-9-generic [20:45] barcode: Oh- and there's also the drawing program in OpenOffice, which is quite good as well. [20:45] its not like telephone its a cable :S [20:45] lefix, can you try "sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic" [20:45] Jack_Sparrow: I got sloppy with my xorg backups and now I don't know which one is the correct backup file [20:45] jhamlin: have you used the command line tools before? it's normally easiest if you can get it to work via smbclient and then use the same arguments when mounting. [20:45] bdelin88 rem out 54 55 56 and 57 the sudo apt-get update [20:46] hwilde: I'm mostly browsing samba that's served from a mac... I don't know if that effects the applicability of the info you pm'd me... [20:46] le1: OK... is it round? Like cable-TV cable? [20:46] hwilde pastebin? [20:46] i'm trying to run the livecd for 8.10 on a thinkpad T61 and getting nowhere [20:46] jhamlin, ok so where do you have the problem, from where to where [20:46] any info on that? [20:46] lefix, can you try "sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic" [20:46] le1: and the connector on the end screws onto the back of the modem? [20:46] hwilde i did it, result pastebin? [20:46] Jack_Sparrow: one sec [20:46] i want to update svn to its newest version. i get this error "m@aditya:~$ sudo apt-get update svn E: The update command takes no arguments" [20:46] yes [20:47] lefix, yes yes [20:47] i select the language, i select the first menu option, and then the cd never spins back up again [20:47] how do I see what kernal I am using? [20:47] adityag, just sudo apt-get update [20:47] odinsbane, uname -a [20:47] I had it working fine with smbfs. I simply changed smbfs to cifs in my fstab (as described above) [20:47] le1: OK, you have a cable broadband then. [20:47] adityag the repo will not contain the very latest of most programs [20:47] !info svn [20:47] i am having trouble getting a2ps to print on 2 sides. it simply won't do it, even though firefox and openoffice will do it. [20:47] Package svn does not exist in intrepid [20:47] jhamlin: I'm guessing it has something to do with the uid= and gid= bits [20:47] HI everyone. I need help. plugged in a Gigaware 25-234 webcam and ubuntu does not recognize it. spent a little time here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=651182, but no luck. Any insight? [20:48] le1: OK... now look at the jacks on the D-link. What are the 8-pin jacks labeled? [20:48] !webcam > Michael_RN [20:48] Michael_RN, please see my private message [20:48] Michael_RN, disconnect, reconnect, pastebin dmesg [20:48] hwilde: http://pastie.org/329135 [20:48] it's really frustrating. This should be very very simple to do [20:48] (they are probably labeled LAN1 through LANN and then one labeled WAN) [20:48] anybody use a conexant modem, it seems the linuxant drivers are very kernel specific. [20:48] Jack_Sparrow: then i do i get the programs updated ? [20:48] Jack_Sparrow: What's wrong with keeping vbox in the repo? I like having that stuff there so it auto-updates itself [20:48] the power on and status and wan and wlan [20:48] Does that mean I have to reinstall everytime I upgrade my kernel? [20:49] lefix, pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list [20:49] I don't like vbox to update itself because I use it on a workstation [20:49] adityag the programs in the repo are the latset "TESTED" versions.. see also backports etc [20:49] all of them the light is green [20:49] Is openal broken in Intrepid, or am I just doing something wrong? [20:49] le1: not the lights. the places where you can plug cables in. [20:49] Hi all. === vorian is now known as heHATEme [20:49] isit wurkin? [20:49] once it's working, I don't want it to change [20:49] Zzeiss I applaud your patience [20:49] in the right place [20:49] So - sorry for spamming and bye - it wurks :D [20:49] SlimeyPete then dont update [20:49] jhamlin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79479/ <-- this is how I'm doing it myself, and it works fine if I mount as my own user. [20:49] and one of them in my compouter [20:49] anyone gotten 8.10 to install on a thinkpad T61, have to do anything special? the CD won't even spin up after i select any of the options from the menu [20:49] Jack_Sparrow: I want other things to update though ;) [20:50] hwilde sources.list or sources.list.save? [20:50] lefix, sources.list [20:50] thanks, ubottu, I'll take a look there. === christian is now known as mcc2203 [20:50] SlimeyPete If you update you will need to reinstall your modem driver [20:50] I was hoping someone could suggest a small x window, graphical game that I could port to an arm processor. I don't have a lot of supporting libraries, so something that has a very small list of dependencies would be awesome. [20:50] hwilde: sources.list -> http://pastie.org/329138 [20:50] Jack_Sparrow: modem driver? Do you have me confused with someone else? :) [20:50] I'm simply interested in testing the graphics capability of our system. [20:51] * SlimeyPete doesn't actually own a modem any more unless you count the one in his laptop which he doesn't use [20:51] why its not working [20:51] :S [20:51] lefix, comment out the backports line 38 [20:51] if i release the usb i can't connect to internet [20:51] le1: do you know what I mean by a "jack"? It's where you plug cables in. [20:52] yea [20:52] When I upgraded 8.04 to 8.10 I made the mistake of saying "no" to replacing my menu.lst file for grub. Now I fail to boot properly into x and the only solution I have is to >> sudo rmmod nvidia && sudo modprobe nvidia && startx -- just to get into a "working" environment. Which package do I need to reinstall to get that menu.lst generated again? [20:52] i full them into the jack agian [20:52] lefix, then go to /var/cache/apt/archives and run "ls" and pastebin the output plz [20:52] pull* [20:52] adityag If you update you will need to reinstall your modem driver [20:52] sorry SlimeyPete [20:52] le1: now please just tell me what each of the jacks are labeled. (some Dlink jacks have built-in LEDs but that isn't important. What's important is the labels on the jacks) [20:52] hwilde: do you mean this: deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-backports main restricted universe multiverse [20:52] # deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-backports main restricted universe multiverse? [20:53] lefix, yes comment that out [20:53] lefix, line 38 in your pastebin http://pastie.org/329138 [20:53] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks. :) [20:53] Zzeiss np [20:54] ciao [20:54] hwilde sry don understand what you mean, do you mean i should make line 38 a comment and save the list? [20:55] lefix, um type in gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [20:55] lefix, then go to preferences-> show line numbers [20:55] okay thxs but time to late i have school tomorrow thxs for helping [20:55] lefix, find that line and comment it out with a # sign at the beginning [20:55] lefix, before: deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-backports main restricted universe multiverse [20:55] cccharles: I still get "permission denied" if I try to view the folder as a non-root user (using your fstab entry) :( [20:55] lefix, after: #deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-backports main restricted universe multiverse [20:55] I'm guessing that increasing the swappiness means that when returning to a computer that has idled for a day, it would seem slower since it has to fetch everything from the swap, but at the same time, it wouldn't leave apps that haven't been touched in a while in the RAM? [20:55] i will ask u tomorrow again :D [20:55] something tells me I just shouldn't worry about getting my modem to work. [20:56] c y [20:56] odinsbane, buy supported hardware :) [20:56] hwilde yes kk thats what i wanted to know, if i should comment line 38 [20:56] xD [20:56] lefix, then go to /var/cache/apt/archives and run "ls" and pastebin the output plz [20:56] jhamlin: if you ls -l the mount as root, what owner/group and permissions does it show? Paste it into paste.ubuntu.com for me, if it's not too sensitive. [20:57] has anyone had success installing gforge using the packages in ubuntu 8.10? [20:57] So. I have a clean/fresh install of ubuntu8.10 and everything works fine. Until I go away for the night and come back in the morning. At that point my sound 'stops working', that is, I can't get any player software to produce noise. Occasionally I get some error about interacting with gconf but I can't reproduce it at this exact moment. If I kill/restart X, sound still fails to work, but it works fine once I restart the box itself (until the next day that is) [20:57] hwilde: error "Could not save the file /etc/apt/sources.list. You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again." [20:57] How would I reset .. the sound system? Or something related? [20:58] lefix, you did gksu ? [20:59] When I installed Ubuntu 8.10, I did a manual format of my HDD and chose resierfs. Is that version 3 or 4? [20:59] hello... i wanted to find out how i can change my boot order?.... and if i do change it. can i mess up my boot system???? [20:59] all it says is reiserfs [20:59] cccharles: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79488 [20:59] hi [21:00] ugh. I've installed Ubuntu for the first time, and I can't get audio for my SB Live 24 bit card. [21:00] What version of RFS does ubuntu 8.10 all you to format it as? [21:00] hi , all media are played at in slow motion , any one know why ? [21:00] *allow [21:00] sry hwilde dont know what you mean what is gksu and how can i make it started? [21:00] I have problems turnning automatcly the monitor off, it only turn black, what can I do? [21:00] le1: gotta boogie. Bad news phone call. [21:00] Can I get some help? [21:00] wow, is this room a mess. [21:00] NTU: dont use reiserfs [21:01] Just tell me what version [21:01] NTU: regarding your other question; dont know which version [21:01] thanks [21:01] hi [21:01] i have a question... i wanted to find out how i can change my boot order?.... and if i do change it. can i mess up my boot system???? [21:01] cccharles: again, the _exact_ same line works perfectly with smbfs instead of cifs... [21:01] Hey, if I want to run Ubuntu 8.10 in a virtual machine on 8.04, which VM program in the repos is the best? [21:01] I had some issues with 8.10 and cisco vpn's [21:02] jhamlin: the ownership on your files seems strange. why can't you stick with smbfs if it is already working? [21:02] and had to downgrade [21:02] lefix, are you not reading what I am telling you [21:02] lefix, type in gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [21:02] anthony_: yes you can change you boot list order, and yes you can mess up your system. [21:02] hi guys, i have been trying to unrar files for hours and all i get with unrar free is an empty directory, when i am lucky but more often a friendly message warns me that the ‎file has been successfully decompressed, but in fact it did nothing! any idea?

I have a java website and I want to put It online on a ubuntu server [21:04] any suggestion? [21:04] security issue?

That's REALLY bad [21:04] Hi, can someone tell me how to make ubuntu stop using my hdd so much after boot [21:04] linuxnewbe /j #Ubuntu-server [21:04] Bart_ add ram [21:05] I have ram enough [21:05] jhamlin: can you pastebin your /etc/mtab file for me?

I just posted a question up [21:05] anthony_: there is a boot.ini file on you root directory (windows) , dont know what the ubuntu version is. just make sure you have it backed up before you change anything and have a boot disk so you can fix it if you mess up. [21:05] uhm 1 GB [21:05] !patience | xintruder [21:05] xintruder: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available.

[21:06] xintruder yes, all of us [21:06] ok thanks [21:06] hwilde: sry, no done look: http://pastie.org/329162 [21:06] i thought this is the ubuntu company channel :s !!!!!!!!!!!!!! [21:06] Does anybody know what version of RFS Ubuntu 8.10 uses? [21:06] baske: use find with some criteria and -exec: find -name '*.mp3' -exec 'echo rm {}' === heHATEme is now known as vorian [21:07] but becouse of SSD is used as hdd, I have now very high %WA [21:07] xintruder please try to stay on topic. If you pay for support, you get paid support staff [21:07] hwilde: sry, now done look: http://pastie.org/329162 [21:07] afk [21:08] ah, thnx [21:08] cccharles: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79491/ [21:08] lefix, ok delete all of those files. [21:08] guess locate works fine too? [21:08] i dont mind paying ubuntu (buying the o/s) if I can get dedicated support man.. but these linux distros has been this way for ages, years... [21:08] Jack_Sparrow, can I disable some useless startup stuff? [21:08] I've hosed up my ubuntu upgrade :( [21:08] any idea about gnome-open? (it doesn't open any url, it open folders and etc but not url) [21:08] When I manually formatted my HDD using Ubuntu I chose reiserfs. What version is that? [21:08] When I manually formatted my HDD using Ubuntu I chose reiserfs. What version is that? [21:08] lefix: hi How do i register nic or channel.i'm new user. [21:09] version 3 or 4? [21:09] I had nvidia binaries installed a long time ago, and now the official ubuntu version breaks [21:09] tech: ask in #freenode [21:09] NTU: 3. I don't think any distros use reiser 4 [21:09] baske: locate searched in a database and not in the filesystem itself. after one execution it would find the files again, even if they have been deleted. i don't remember locate to have something like -exec [21:09] thanks [21:09] How can i allow some users to see their home directories only, and others to see /home/ftp for example, in proftpd? [21:09] jhamlin: it doesn't look like this is mounted as the user you want accessing the files... normally I would expect to see something like user=jhamlin in the options in /etc/mtab [21:10] its something to do with the diversions [21:10] dpkg-divert [21:10] got another stupid questions to you guys, downloaded a file that had been compressed with gzip but right click - extract here doens't work but gzip does respond in the terminal if i ask it [21:10] but I don't know how to straighten them out [21:10] lefix, you deleted them right ? [21:10] ali3nwar3, gunzip [21:10] Daremonai-> anonymous vs logged in user? so you have to figure out how these users are authorized when logging on, referenrence the pro-ftpd manual [21:11] Hi [21:11] diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa by nvidia-glx-177 [21:11] diversion of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so to /usr/lib/nvidia/libglx.so.xserver-xorg-core by nvidia-glx-177 [21:11] diversion of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so to /usr/lib/nvidia/libGLcore.so.xlibmesa by nvidia-glx-177 [21:11] can i install google chrome on my ubuntu?

Or is there any program to do so? [21:11] xintruder: probably not. I don't think that Chrome even fully builds on Linux yet. [21:12] i can't find that whilde [21:12] Daremonai-> read the proftpd manual? [21:12] cccharles: my bad that time I had mounted it as root. When I mount as user mtab gives: http://paste.ubuntu.com/79495/ [21:12] n8tuser, I am doing that.. I just need to know what to look for. I'm trying a UserAlias inside a block [21:13] dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-glx-177_177.80-0ubuntu2_i386.deb (--unpack): [21:13] trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libGL.so.1', which is also in package libgl1-mesa-glx [21:13] Daremonai-> if you want to get really fancy, you can look into namespace restriction [21:13] n8tuser, meh that doesn' work. [21:13] tech sry, im a new user too [21:13] n8tuser, okay i'll check that. [21:13] jhamlin: and you still can't view the files as the jhamlin user, eh? [21:13] cccharles: nope [21:13] maybe libgl1-mesa-glx needs a diversion? [21:13] Sooke: nmap. but use with great responsibility! [21:13] Can any ubuntu user in the WORLD browse the web (including youtube and flash) with no problems? I left ubuntu 2005 and came back and still can't browse the web properly for gods sake.. [21:13] i've tried reinstalling it [21:13] xintruder: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/09/05/how-to-install-google-chrome-in-ubuntu-with-wine/ [21:14] thank you gnea [21:14] hwilde, when i now type ls it only contains lock and partial, is that ok linke this? [21:14] jhamlin: I'm wondering if this has something to do with different user IDs on your Linux box compared to your OSX box. [21:14] xintruder: yeah, youtube works great here. even cnn video is working this week. [21:14] lefix, that's good [21:14] lefix, now sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [21:14] Hell, I am thinking about installing IE.exe with wine or something for some proper web browsing. [21:14] oskar, I want to connect to my work's vpn connection, but in Ubunutu I can't see my computers resources like in WIn, so I have to map them manually, and therefore I have to know thier IP [21:15] oskar-, that's why I wanted this [21:15] Sooke, did you try Places-> Network ? [21:15] hwilde, gunzip? [21:15] xitruder, proper?! think bout firefox [21:15] cccharles: I'm amazed that this could be so difficult. I've spent several days worth of my time fiddling with this over the past several months... [21:15] hwilde pastebin? [21:15] lefix, yes of course [21:15] Daremonai-> if you can find the article from ibm on "mount namespaces advanced mount features" [21:15] PixieQueen: firefox cant run flash or browse youtube properly. [21:15] hwilde, yes, but I can't get anything, my company's network is based in Windows server and I don't have the smae domain here at home [21:16] n8tuser, alright... meh.. why can't it be simpler :s [21:16] xintruder, hm. dont think so [21:16] Sooke, oh.

Still (since 2005, and today), youtube loads a black screen sometimes, and I cannot maximise it on screen, and i cannot play texas holdem in facebook (flash). [21:17] Hello, none of my audio players seem to be working. I've downloaded several different programs and most of them won't even play the music but the few that will load incredibly slow, please help. Any suggestions? [21:17] hwilde, so at work it is for me since I know the "name" of the resources like for example //nameofthedomain/nameoftheresource, however in Ubuntu this is not accepted, and I need to put network://ip/nameofresource, but I don't know the IP! that's why I have to find them out->ping the entire network [21:17] cccharles: does this mean anything? when i unmount and `ls -l` i get "drwxrwx--- 32 1034 crontab 0 2008-11-29 12:08 fooserver_user_files" and when I mount it, I get "drwxr-xr-x 2 jhamlin jhamlin 4096 2008-12-02 09:36 fooserver_user_files" [21:17] I installed gnash on my box [21:17] for flash [21:17] it runs fine [21:18] xintruder if you mind any problems use 'auto-installers' xD [21:18] Sooke, lol goto pm ok [21:18] i find that the adobe flash plugin needs some work [21:18] I'm starting to dougt any functional linux distro proper for home use other than macintosh. [21:18] LMAO [21:18] or apple, whatever its called. [21:18] Look don't just quit or give up because you can't think on your own. [21:19] That's a bad idea.

I need to take the output and turn it into X and Y variables that I can write to another file.. [21:38] any samba experts here? [21:38] Hello, I need to backup some files that i have in a TAR...

[21:38] l337ingDisorder: no, it outputs much more... [21:39] nouMenon, its better here because other people will probably know the answer. Have your sounds ever worked? [21:39] chiliblue: I know my way around samba but I wouldn't call myself an expert.. what's the question? [21:39] anthony_: yup my ati flicker when I use certain drivers [21:39] chiliblue yep.. quite commom [21:39] after I upgrade my kernel when is it safe to remove the old ones? [21:39] i have ati too [21:40] odinsbane, ok. Yes, my sound works, if I watch a youtube video for example it works just fine. It's only when trying to open audio files for some reason. [21:40] Hi [21:40] oskar-: ah ok I see its output properly now. Thanks :) === sebastien_ is now known as paulus [21:40] odinsbane whenever you are comfortable with the new one, but I suggest you leave on old one [21:40] l337ingDisorder: ok, here is what is happening, smbd isn't reporting the size of available spce right, it says0kb when in fact there is around 999gb [21:40] I am having a problem burning a simple Audio CD. I use CD/DVD Creator and it looks fine on my computer. I put it in my DVD player but it can't read it? Can anyone help me please? [21:41] Jack_Sparrow, how do I go about removing an old one. I have about 4 old ones, and I am installing an even newer one, so five old kernels. [21:41] odinsbane: if you just want to remove clutter in your boot menu you can just remove entries from /boot/grub/menu.lst, then the kernels are still on your system if you need them [21:41] odinsbane gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [21:41] in rythm box, whenever I start the visualisation, it just exits without saying a word....

[21:43] nouMenon have you checked aplay ? [21:44] goetz: Sys>admin>powermanagement. [21:44] Jack_Sparrow: or #grub [21:44] odinsbane what is aplay? [21:44] nouMenon: a command [21:44] nouMenon it gives you some information about how your sound cards are setup. [21:44] nouMenon: try "aplay /dev/urandom" in the terminal, it should make white noise. [21:44] you guys know of a program that will scan an entire disk, making sure all the blocks are okay? [21:44] !fsck [21:44] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [21:45] !aplay [21:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about aplay [21:45] !GSynaptics [21:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about GSynaptics [21:45] dough [21:45] lfaraone: I have configured it from there, but after the timeout (10min) the displays turn black, and it is still on.

[21:47] Ifaraone: I copied a normal audio CD into the computer and with CD/DVD creator burned an audio disc. Nothing complicate or out of the ordinar, but it wouldn't read it on my DVD player [21:47] sonoblaise: does it also say nothing, when you start for example totem from a terminal? [21:47] lfaraone ouch, ha ha. there was no obvious stop command, had to turn off my speakers. Yes, the white noise played just fine. [21:47] nouMenon: CTRL+C, sorry :) [21:47] oskar-, you mean starting totem and loading the DVD from the term?? [21:47] lfaraone no problem. It seems to be working though, any other suggestions?

[22:17] ali3nwar3: compiz-fushion is compiz, the current version [22:17] alrighty then [22:18] Jack_Sparrow: i just installed it, and when i used it it wouldn't connect to my wireless, otherwise i haven't seen anything wrong, do u recommend another DM to use that is lighter than gnome/KDE but just as useful?

[22:34] hey anyone know when network-manager-pptp is going to be fixed [22:34] caleb_, it did that for me, if you need to do it yourself i'm not sure [22:34] i have recorded a screencast with recordmydesktop. the video is delayed so the sound isn't synced with it. how do i avoid this when recording? if it's not possible, how do i fix this with ffmpeg? video and audio get progressively less in sync as the video gets longer. [22:34] well i have no clue quess i will try some other way to use it or somthing [22:34] conal: xlsfonts, or do you want something else? [22:34] caleb_, http://www.eth0.us/keys [22:34] jrib: sry, but often i think noone was reading my questions so i post them from time to time, hoping anybody will read them [22:34] okay i found that i have a problem with my mounted external harddrive... every file is permission denied and i cant make any new folders [22:34] ubuntu is the only OS I have that its pptp vpn does not work [22:35] jrib: and then xfontsel to see what they look like?

[22:35] Linuxnoob100 try gksudo nautilus and see if you can create a folder [22:35] jrib: ähm, not really. how exactly do i do this with fdi files? [22:36] GreenDelta: it's explained in ubottu's link. Poke me if you're not sure what to do after reading it [22:36] jack: I cant because i have no internet on the box [22:36] ikyn: what exactly are you trying to install? [22:37] * YaroMan86 gives up. No one is answering his question. [22:37] jrib: first: which one link? ubottu gave me 2 links, one about the IRC Code of Cunduct and one about X Server Resolutions... but my prob is the touchpad not the monitor :P [22:37] Linuxnoob100 what does gksudo nautilus need the internet for? [22:37] Linuxnoob100: you dont need internet to 'gksudo nautilus' [22:37] jrib: iw [22:37] what i'm really trying to figure out (aside from learning my way around linux & ubuntu) is how to enter greek characters in Inkscape. [22:37] conal: sure. There's probably some 'more modern' program to view fonts too. See https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/193897 [22:37] jrib: iw-0.9.6 [22:37] !afk [22:37] You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [22:38] jrib: i hope so. haven't found it by googling yet. [22:38] Linuxnoob100: gksudo promotes to root privileges and runs nautilus which is the filemanager for gnome [22:38] conal: interesting plan, i'll try it here ;) [22:38] it keeps saying gksudo isnt installed and i need to apt-get install [22:38] Linuxnoob100: oookay, try sudo nautilus [22:38] Linuxnoob100: sudo should be there [22:38] Linuxnoob100 do NOT use sudo nautilus [22:39] conal: well you could use system -> preferences -> appearance -> fonts [22:39] Linuxnoob100: it does the same but password prompt isnt as fancy ;) [22:39] Linuxnoob100 you are on hde? kdesu [22:39] jrib: i think u sent the wrong link... [22:39] kde [22:39] it said command not found [22:39] Linuxnoob100 which flavor of ubuntu [22:39] jrib: that seems to work. i hadn't thought of opening up the font-choice widgets. thanks.

Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [22:40] conal: gnome-specimen turns up in apt too [22:40] Linuxnoob100 ok, so no gui and no gksudo [22:40] conal: it works here: i have set the keyboard layout to greek and used "bitstream vera sans" in inkscape. (this is gentoo; maybe installing the greek language support may help also) [22:41] jrib: thx. no its the right one :) (the link before was about screen res...) [22:41] jrib: *now [22:41] Linuxnoob100 you will need to set permissions on that partition/mount or use sudo which could come back to haunt you later [22:41] GreenDelta: yep, you are right [22:41] jrib: i'll check it out.

This is normal behavior of course, but it is USELESS since any stupid program seems able to stop the suspend. the default torrent client prevents the computer from suspending. vlc stops it from suspending. i've had my laptop sit frying in my bag about three times now. how can i make suspend to what it is actually supposed to do?

[23:23] how i can format it to be a fat32 [23:23] lol no [23:23] xintruder: No [23:23] radicalboy I would leave your ntfs as read only until you upgrade your distro, create a fat32 if you need to pass filers to windows [23:23] IT's Intrepid Ibex [23:23] xintruder: no. latest is intrepid [23:23] Dapper is a LONG time old [23:23] SJrX but still lts supported [23:23] xintruder: Dapper is from June 2006 eg: 6.06 [23:24] Dapper Drake, Feighsty Fawn, Gutsy Gibbon, Hardy Herron, Intrepid Ibex [23:24] pckchem: Thanks! [23:24] Jack_Sparrow yeah that doesn't make it not old [23:24] How do I uninstall/reinstall Gnome desktop? [23:24] SJrX agreed [23:24] LTS just means security updates, the actual packages don't seem to change drastically [23:24] SJrX exactly [23:24] I got rid of my dapper box a few weeks ago, since I was tired of PHP 5.1.4 [23:24] SJrX: Well, there are some backports as well. [23:25] SJrX the user has no issues with 6.06 other than wanting to write to ntfs drive [23:25] Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't say they should move forward with every release [23:25] but I don't see any benefit in staying with an older LTS release [23:25] SJrX A topic more suited to offtopic [23:25] good evening [23:25] SJrX: "if it ain't broken, don't fix it", i'd guess =/ [23:26] How is it OT? [23:26] how bad is xubuntu 8.10 compared to ubuntu 8.10? [23:26] I have an open window that does not close with a mouse click, i have already killed the program that generated this window and it is still there, how do i close it? [23:26] arun_: it's not, it's just different [23:26] SJrX If you were reading, he cannot get the newer buntus to install on his 450 mhz with limited ram [23:26] Hmmmm, I wasn't advising an upgrade, I just answered, and was talking with someone. [23:26] i hav only 256mb ram.which one should i use [23:26] hey, i'm trying to get wireless working on my hp pavilion tx2000 with 8.10 installed. the restricted drivers don't work, and ndiswrapper seems to be uncooperative [23:26] SJrX ot as in discussion, not support [23:26] what should i do? [23:27] arun_: xubuntu, probably [23:27] how i remove program / daemon from runlevel list? seems like i have ghost there [23:27] Ah okay, that's fine Jack_Sparrow [23:27] then whats the difference [23:27] arun_: xubuntu uses xfce and more lightweight packages. ubuntu uses gnome. [23:27] arun_ what did you want to do with it [23:27] HOW DO I GET WMV MOVIE TO PLAY ON HARDY? [23:27] arun_ remember to look at the video, are you SHARING your ram with the video [23:27] sry cps [23:28] rlt: arun_: you can use gnome + fluxbox for lightness [23:28] david_: Have you installed the restricted extras package? [23:28] !medibuntu | david_ [23:28] david_: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [23:28] ya i am sharing [23:28] Anyone know how to uninstall/reinstall gnome desktop environment [23:28] !caps [23:28] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT!

[23:28] genii he will be right back, he was warned before [23:29] i have only 256mb ram in which around 8mb shared for graphics.is it enough for xubuntu 8.10? [23:29] is there workaround to remove daemon from runlevel list, cause seems like i have ghostdaemon there :D or sysv-rc-conf shows? [23:29] hello room [23:29] arun_, that should be enough [23:29] !hi [23:29] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:29] hi [23:29] arun_ what do you want to do with the box? [23:29] !minimal [23:29] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [23:30] what do you meant by box? [23:30] arun_ PC = box [23:30] hello. anyone ever use eAAC+ encoding in ubuntu? I want to rip cd's m4a with that FAAC compression. I know how to do it CLI but i want some gui. [23:30] arun_ is this a desktop, server? [23:30] Houksi-: install rcconf and run as root in a terminal, it seems to work quite well. [23:30] desktop [23:30] Anyone know how to uninstall/reinstall Gnome? [23:30] arun_: id run fluxbox / xfce for lightness, ram is cheap though :) [23:30] X keeps crashing on me. The only lead is something like "Received signal 11: aborting" [23:30] (not an exact quote) [23:30] uhm, does anyone know anything about getting wi-fi working? [23:30] !purekde [23:30] If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [23:30] what is fluxbox? [23:31] arun_: I think minimum ram is 192meg... [23:31] greghere, sudo apt-get remove libgnome-2.0 [23:31] My guess would be that except for KDE 4, most anything should run on there fine. You can try the light weight onces like xfce or fluxbox. [23:31] greghere, what is your problem? you can boot to a cli and run: sudo apt-get remove gnome-core then sudo apt-get install gnome-core [23:31] arun_ it's a windows manager [23:31] i am having a problem with my internet connection on my other machine. My router died and now i need to connect to the net w/o it but i can't connect. What do i need to change to get back online with just my nic card? [23:31] !fluxbox | arun_ [23:31] arun_: fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox [23:31] arun_: Or go with fluxbox...but 256 should be enough for xubuntu [23:31] slayton, I cant boot into gnome [23:31] arun_ if you are on a cable modem, there is nothing stopping you from switching between ubuntu/xubuntu/kubuntu [23:32] greghere, then re=installing it probably won't fix your problem [23:32] fluxbox is an os like xubuntu??? [23:32] arun_: You should ask at #xubuntu [23:32] greghere, what is wrong with gnome? What error messages do you get? [23:32] arun_: its a window manager, the default window manager for ubuntu is metacity [23:32] arun_, NO fluxbox is the Graphical environment that runs ontop of linux [23:32] arun_: the default in kde is kwin [23:32] arun_: fluxbox is just a display manager, like gnome in ubuntu or kde in kubuntu....flux is very lightweight [23:32] arun_ Look at this.. http://xwinman.org/ [23:33] m1dn1ght: those are desktop environments, fluxbox is a window manager [23:33] fluxbox is ok but its not for noobs [23:33] no, it is a window manager like gnome or kde [23:33] gnutron: oki, seems like i had buggy program cause sysv-rc-conf shows it and rcconf doesnt [23:33] slayton, I dont get any error messages because I cant see anything, its all grey, void, blanc! [23:33] blux: gnome and kde are desktop environments, you can run kde + fluxbox. by default its kde + kwin [23:33] before installing fluxbox i need to choose whether xubuntu or ubuntu.right? [23:34] blux: and default gnome + metacity [23:34] Houksi-: try BUM its gui, that might work, or you need invoke.rc.d from the command line. [23:34] slayton, I can boot into KDE fine, Gnome Failsafe, fine, Gnome :( [23:34] so i heard that linux laptops see 4x returns compared to windows,is that true? [23:34] ok :) [23:34] arun_: you could install ubuntu, then sudo apt-get install fluxbox and change your session type to fluxbox, same apps, lighter frontend [23:34] gnutron: well... this is server so no gui coming ;) [23:35] then what software will be replaced by fluxbox? [23:35] slayton, funny thing is that I inadvertently rolled the mouse wheel and Compiz Fusion desktop cube rotated! [23:35] greghere, hm... try this: sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop [23:35] i accidentally deleted the systray thing where pidgin should minimize to, how do i get it back? [23:35] arun_: you will have all the gnome apps, just that you will use them via fluxbox instead of metacity [23:35] greghere, funny... [23:35] greghere: that happens if you roll it fast enough [23:36] Houksi-: man invoke.rc.d is the best I can do. [23:36] slayton, have done that already at least eight times :( [23:36] greghere, try in #gnome they might now how to fix your problems [23:36] stygian: right click taskbar -> add item. I think its called task manager [23:36] gnutron: ok thank you :) [23:36] then what about edubuntu and other things? [23:37] hey, is anyone here have some exp with aircrack? [23:37] arun_: its the same OS, just different apps installed by default [23:37] arun_ stick with ubuntu, kubuntu or xubuntu [23:37] slayton if I boot into "gnome failsafe" is there any way I can edit the .gconf file? [23:37] I need some help... [23:37] I have an open window that does not close with a mouse click, i have already killed the program that generated this window and it is still there, how do i close it? [23:37] o [23:37] ActionParsnip: nothing called task manager, tray, system tray, nada [23:37] greghere, if you can boot into KDE then you can edit the file from there... or just press CNTL ALT F1 to go to a terminal and edit it from there with vi or nano [23:37] zimbres: try alt-f4 [23:37] zimbres: i'd try ps -ef | grep and see if its still running [23:38] whats the difference between killing a program and ending a program? [23:38] stygian: app list? [23:38] I was told to do a rm- gconf something or other... [23:38] zimbres, go to a terminal and type in "ps -e | grep nameofprogram [23:38] im not able to restore the bootloader [23:38] then kill the pid with kill -9 PID [23:38] arun_: not much, if anything [23:38] zimbres, if you have killed the program then the window wouldn't be there make sure you got the name right [23:38] i installed windows over [23:38] i followed all steps in the docs for restoring, but couldnt make it work [23:38] !grub | Tomasso [23:38] Tomasso: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[23:39] slayton, if I do the alt-ctrl-f1 thing I cant see what Im typing because its off the bottom of the screen [23:39] ActionParsnip: only "Run application" and "Window list" [23:39] Linuxnoob100 man mv [23:39] how can i do md5 checksum in ubuntu before writing xubuntu.iso?

[23:39] arun_: md5sum filename.iso [23:39] greghere, really? thats weird [23:39] stygian: and shazam [23:39] greghere, can you boot into kde? [23:40] slayton, I have booted to the "failsafe gnome" desktop, can you help me now? [23:40] cool [23:40] greghere, can you open a terminal? [23:40] when i do that the command gets executed but then i can type stuff in and nothing happens in response to it [23:40] slayton, yes [23:40] Linuxnoob100: did you get a new prompt? It's probably still moving [23:40] greghere, then open a terminal and delete the desired file [23:41] greghere, I'm not sure what kind of help you're asking for/ need [23:41] slayton, ok, what file would that be and how do I delete it? [23:41] jrib: no, it moves by its self, i dont see a percentage thing or anything just the flashing _? [23:41] greghere, you tell me you told me you wanted to delete a .gconf file [23:42] if you want to delete .gconf then run: rm ~/.gconf [23:42] Linuxnoob100: what do you mean "it moves by itself"? mv has no progress bar. Do you get a new prompt "linuxnoob@ubuntu$ " or whatever [23:42] no i dont [23:42] greghere To Reset All of Gnome: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ In terminal type: rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [23:42] Linuxnoob100: then it's still moving. How big is the file? [23:42] slayton, about five days ago someone told me to do a re~ .gconf.bak del gconf or something like that [23:42] slaytanic, Why the name of the program did not appear in the top list? [23:42] greg__, ^ Jack_Sparrow's comment [23:42] slayton, , Why the name of the program did not appear in the top list? [23:43] greghere, ^ Jack_Sparrow's comment [23:43] zimbres, you probably spelled it wrong [23:43] jrib: i meant like; is it moving if i dont see anything and i cant type into the prompt? but you answered my questoion by saying there is no progress bar; thanks :D [23:43] Linuxnoob100 is the drive light on [23:43] I have just installed kubuntu 8.10 - is compiz enabled by default after I install nvidia drivers? [23:43] Jack_Sparrow: greghere: id use mv instead of rm so you can roll back [23:43] yes its a mybook its always on:D [23:44] how well does Ubuntu support IceWM? [23:44] how do i tell mingw to look for lib and include in /usr/i586-mingw32-msvc rather than /usr ? [23:44] dougl: you need video drivers. compiz is not default [23:44] so anyone ever use eAAC+ compression encoding/? [23:44] it took 10 minutes to tar it. im going to go eat and come back in 15 if its still moving im going to pour water on my mobo, brb afk [23:45] meoblast001, put /usr/i586-mingw32-msvc in your path before /usr [23:45] ActionParsnip, I really have no idea what I'm doing :( [23:45] when i take youtube it shows missing plugin flashplayer.after installing from the browser itself it restarts and says missing plugin.same is the case when i manually [23:45] Linuxnoob100, if you want to kill the process press control \ [23:45] y installed [23:45] Linuxnoob100, but that could ruin the tar [23:45] slayton, so i use the argument path=/usr/i586-mingw32-msvc?

[23:46] !path [23:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about path [23:46] oh ok [23:46] greghere: that will rename the folder, you then have a rollback if something bad happens as you have not deleted the folders [23:46] slayton: i pressed ctrl and nothing happened lol [23:46] ActionParsnip, will that fix my gnome desktop and make it work as it did before? [23:46] greghere: if the result is good, THEN rm the folders [23:46] meoblast001, but that only lasts as long as you have your terminal open... you have to put that line in your ~/.bashrc file so that the variable gets set everytime you open a terminal [23:46] greghere: it will set it to stock settings [23:47] Linuxnoob100, did you try " control + \" [23:47] how to open file .sit in ubuntu?

[23:47] greghere: well when you rename the folders then reboot. if the result is hat you want, then remove the folders [23:48] dougl: is it enabled in ccsm? [23:48] dougl Install ccsm sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager Next go to system...pref..advanced desktop effects....

[23:48] greghere Please stay on topic, we dont need comments and comparisons [23:48] this is a mac file [23:48] Linuxnoob100, you could have opened a second terminal and run killall tar [23:48] .st = Stuffit [23:49] greghere: a default desktop like you got when you first booted after first install [23:49] slayton: too late [23:49] and a have a file with this extension .sit in my pc [23:49] Jack_Sparrow, My apologies but I am so frustrated with this, as I have so many emails/files and I dont want to lose them :( [23:50] ActionParsnip, Ok, so could you please tell me again what I am to do?
